Plaster Puppets
This is a couple photos of my plaster puppet. I’m not sure what day we did them on because it was at the end of a pretty busy art class. It was fun though, putting the plaster on your finger and having it harden, but also being able to shape it. I had never made plaster puppets before. Mine was just a little sea monster I call monty. Anyway it was fun and I would probably do plaster puppets with my future students although I will have to be carful because it could get messy! It’s pretty simple though, all you need is some plaster netting sheets and a cup of water. You must cut up the plaster sheets into strips and then dunk them one at a time in the water and then put around your finger or fingers. A great tip is to put vaseline on your finger(s) beforehand so it is easy to get the plaster off once its dry. Before it gets dry you can shape the plaster around, add pieces to create shapes and other formations. Enjoy!
