‘I invited Amy to devise a one-off shadow puppet workshop for our Day of the Dead celebrations at the American Museum. Her response to the brief was thoughtful and creative, and she designed a workshop that was inspired by museum collections but also drew heavily on the fun and exuberance of the festival itself. She wove a touching and funny Day of the Dead tale, before children made their own skeleton puppets and took part in a shadow puppet parade. Amy interacted well with both children and parents and feedback from families was overwhelmingly positive, with several parents commenting that it had been ‘magical’. We look forward to working with her again.’ Zoe Dennington, Head Of Learning and Events Programming, American Museum, Bath
Amy Lloyd-Jones has taken her wonderful puppet shows to theatres, schools, museums, libraries and festivals all over the West Country and beyond. She makes all her own puppets and props and with a big dollop of mischief, energy and creativity it is no surprise an audience’s imaginations is engaged in an instant.
