About this experience
Hand Cloth Puppets Making is a 1.5 hours hands-on workshop that introduces participants to the cultural roots of hand cloth puppetry. Traditionally used in folk storytelling, temple festivities, and community gatherings, these puppets played an important role in early Singapore as tools for entertainment, education, and passing down values and legends
