The puppets return to Almonte: Puppets Up August 12–14
After a five-year hiatus, Puppets Up is returning to Almonte, a 30-minute drive from central Ottawa, with a weekend of international puppetry, street performers, and the much-buzzed-about Puppet Parade.
The whimsical world of Matt Ficner, puppeteer and FX artist
Matt Ficner’s studio, which is home to hundreds—if not thousands—of figurines, characters, props and puppets, is equipped with every tool and material one can imagine in a workshop, from paint to fabric to leatherwork, sculpting and casting tools, to industrial cutting machines and 3D printers.
