    Mike Quinn's Secrets Of Puppetry training puppet

    Excellent thoughts. I just did an interview with Muppet Mindset that should be published shortly. I think I did mention the puppetry thing briefly. However it's early days for that so I didn't want to oversell that prematurely. Be good for later though too. So when we get nearer to launch, I'll...

    Glad you understood my typos above :D It is a pity it's so hard to get quality training. What we do is quite magical and there's so much that hasn't been done yet!

    Mike Quinn's Secrets Of Puppetry training puppet

    That's cool Dwayne! I wish there was a way to learn the details from the ground up when I was starting. There really was nowhere at that time. At least no where are classes you can go to from time to time but they can be tricky to get to and there's a time limit on learning. This is hopefully a...

    Mike Quinn's Secrets Of Puppetry training puppet

    All very good thoughts there Dwayne! For me I see puppetry actually having an upturn right now, a bit of a renaissance. There are many different levels also, from people who do this for fun, friends and family, to hobbyists, to part time puppeteers, to live performers and ultimately TV, Film and...

    Mike Quinn's Secrets Of Puppetry training puppet

    Yes, actually this will teach everything from the basics through to high level stuff. Even if you know the basics it's actually good to break it down and understand at a deeper level what's going on and why. Even with my 34 years, there's always room to improve. So this is intended to be very...

    Mike Quinn's Secrets Of Puppetry training puppet

    Hiya! Well the earlier ones I built were for less than minimum wage, lol! I do need to create a sustainable business so I can keep doing more stuff but with that said, I'll see how many people are interested and ultimately serious. The more orders I have the lower the price can be. Not cheap...

    Mike Quinn's Secrets Of Puppetry training puppet

    Hi guys 'n' gals! I've been making these on and off for a few decades to be used to learn hand puppetry. They are tried and tested and used by many professionals and collectors. This will be the final batch before my Secrets Of Puppetry Training Academy opens up this summer. You only have until...

    Remembering Franz "Faz" Fazakas (1918-2013)

    I met Faz several times, but the only time I think I officially worked with him was when he was over for a short time on The Dark Crystal. I was building Podlings and Slaves hand puppets (100 in all) with Bobby Payne. Faz worked with Bobby on a few marionette Podlings for the village scene as I...

    TV Alert: The Muppets on "Good Luck Charlie" Season 4 premiere April 28, 2013

    Lol, you guys are funny :) To answer Dwayne1115 and Muppetlover123, yeah there was one shot where I did two chickens, just as I've been doing almost 34 years ago since Great Muppet Caper. Often it's harder when you have larger characters. Sometimes it's not too bad if you have a good position...

    TV Alert: The Muppets on "Good Luck Charlie" Season 4 premiere April 28, 2013

    So don't watch Disney Channel Mr Bloogar Foobly. We all have that choice. Mindless consumption is the majority of family and older TV too. It's called entertainment. Just as when we were kids, adults need to escape and play too. If you expect TV to do the job of parents and teachers and train...

    Pity some of the posts here are a little down about the show. Perhaps the ones who enjoyed it more don't post as much? It was a really great experience for us all. Wonderful cast and crew who looked after us well and were all very excited and enthusiastic about Muppets being there. It was a...

    Here is an important message from Quinney himself!

    Hot News: Quinney Price Reduction :) I'm looking at getting enough orders to make one final batch at the old original price of $100 plus shipping. After that whenever the following batch gets made in the future, I'll have to raise the costs to cover materials etc. So happily, this price is the...
