Troll Marionette Workshop with Marte Ekhougen – Virtual Program

September 18, 2021—11:00 am – 12:00 pm

In Scandinavian folklore, the forests are full of trolls and little gnomes, and in Norwegian puppeteer and sculptor Marte Ekhougen a.k.a. Doctor Superhelga’s home in Norway, they abound in puppet and marionette form! In this online workshop for families and adults, we’ll learn how to make whimsical expressionistic troll “stuffies” using found and recycled materials. Follow along with Marte and her daughter as you watch the presentation to make your own troll baby at home!
