In winter 2022 to spring 2023, I fabricated eight animal character puppets for West Chester University's Charlotte's Web performance. These puppets use up-cycled elements, and I got the opportunity to be mentored by professional puppet and costume fabricator Alisa Kleckner.
These puppets won Regional First Place Randy Lutz Allied Design and Technology Award KCACTF 2024 and a Certificate of Merit in Puppetry Design from KCACTF in 2023.
