Workshop: Create a Critter. Margaret Low. Audience: children aged 9 and up.
Create your own finger puppet using turtlestitch. TurtleStitch is a block based language, that runs in the browser. Use turtlestitch to create the outline for your finger puppet. It’ll then be stitched by a digital embroidery machine onto two layers of felt, and you can then decorate it, adding eyes, hair, etc.
