Old grandpa with his traditional jacket and moustache stands 8 inches tall.
The puppets in this category represent the Czech tradition in puppet making. These are mostly small series cast puppets, which are then hand decorated by sewing and painting.
Our grandfather is very smart for his age. He and his grandmother live together on a farm, which they take care of completely on their own. In the morning they milk the cows, mow the grass, in the afternoon they rest for a while and before the evening they water the flower beds.
This magical grandfather, about 20 cm high, will be a great partner to our dear grandmother. The whole is made of wood, his dress is hand-sewn and elaborated in detail. The face is painted with non-hazardous colors and his hair is made of wool.
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!
