The bull is a somewhat unusual character among Czech puppets. Jakub carved him in a classical style, so he reminds a bit of the charm of old antique marionettes. Look at the subtle chisel strokes illustrating the beautiful wood grain. The pleasant painting emphasizes the slightly frowning expression of the warrior bull. You can see from his look that he is not to be trifled with.
The traditionally carved puppet has traditional moveability as well as a wooden base controller (marionette operation device) and tether. The head is connected to the controller by a thick wire, the limbs are classically tied with threads. The puppet is thus easy to handle, even if it is only capable of basic movements.
My marionette-making workshop was the most fun I had during my visit to Prague! Everyone at Czech Marionettes was incredibly welcoming and encouraging. Lucy helped me to put the puppet together while another artist helped me to mix the paint. I love how it turned out! I wanted to do something different yet quintessentially Czech while I was here and this was the perfect choice! If you like arts and crafts and friendly people, youll enjoy this workshop. Sadly marionette theater performances are disappearing from Prague. But the talented people who carry on the traditions and artistic crafts are still here and they will gladly introduce you to this wonderful tradition.
Amazing! This little fellow is crafted with skill, love, and whimsy. I have several of the marionettes and each and everyone is a work of art. Cant recommend enough; adore!
