String Puppets for Stage
and Television
|
David Leech has made special
"one-off" string puppets for professional use, to be used on stage or
featured on television. These string puppets vary in size from 18
inches/45cm tall to 30 inches/76cm tall. Made with wooden frames and
modelled in papier mache, these sturdy string puppets are made to last and
withstand the rigours of regular transportation and performance.
With beautiful tailored costumes using appropriate, quality fabrics, these
hand-crafted string puppets can be produced and delivered in 14 to 28 days
- although "urgent" requests can be given serious consideration.
Featured below are some of the string puppets made for stage and TV
performance in
recent times. Prices start from as little as £75.00 or $125.00(US).
Please telephone David Leech on (+44)1271 867796 (overseas) or 01271
867796 (UK) or e-mail me:
david@traditionalpuppets.co.uk to discuss your requirements without
obligation.
Should you wish to place an order, a 25% deposit of agreed or estimated
