Whimsical Puppet Creatures

Join artist J Hann for a playful, hands-on puppet making and fiber arts workshop inspired by the family of freaks, beasts, and zoids on view in Haas Brothers: Uncanny Valley. Participants will create tactile hand puppets through needle felting and textile collage. Come explore these materials and techniques with us! 

J Hann is a puppeteer, fiber artist, and mover based in New York City. J Hann's textural work draws inspiration from the past and is centered in the weird, wonderful, and whimsical. As a performer, their work has been seen on big and small screens, and at BAM, Lincoln Center, St. Ann's Warehouse, HERE Arts Center, La MaMa, The Tank, Dixon Place, and in venues across the globe. J loves to share the beauty of puppetry and the fiber arts and has led classes with students of all ages across the five boroughs and beyond.
