Puppetry and Goggly Eyes

Tim’s journey as a puppeteer has taken him through television, live performances, and creative storytelling. During his talk, he shared fascinating insights into his career from working with puppetry legends to the magic behind bringing inanimate objects to life. His infectious enthusiasm and wealth of experience captivated the audience, leaving everyone inspired to explore their own creative potential.

Bringing objects to life – With a pair of googly eyes!

One of the most exciting moments of the evening was our interactive creative session. Attendees were invited to take part in a playful yet thought-provoking activity; placing googly eyes onto everyday objects and transforming them into quirky, character-filled creations. The results? Hilarious, charming, and surprisingly expressive personalities emerging from items as mundane as coffee cups, laptop chargers, and even a few unsuspecting water bottles!

This exercise was more than just fun; it was a reminder that creativity can be found in the most unexpected places. It encouraged attendees to break free from traditional artistic boundaries and embrace a more spontaneous, imaginative approach to storytelling.

Beyond the googly-eyed creations and puppetry insights, the event provided an opportunity for local artists, designers, writers, and creatives of all kinds to connect. Showcasing what The Fold stands for - a thriving, supportive community where creativity flourishes.
