The World Through Wooden Eyes

We visited The World Through Wooden Eyes today where the puppet master, John Blundall has gathered his collection of puppets, masks, prints and books. Together with designer and creator of puppets and masks, Stephen Foster, they showed us round the galery.

We've seen wonders there! Hundreds of amazing colourful wooden and paper figures, and some incredible books, many of which were hand-made by artists from around the world... A treasureland for theatre and art lovers!
