Giant Earthworm Rendering Workshop this weekend with Sioux. - https://mailchi.mp/ecoss.org.au/giant-earthworm-rendering-workshop-with-sioux-dollman

29/09/2026

We are SO excited to invite a small number of primary school aged children to be part of a new Trash Puppets Project - "The Rovers!"

Join our team for a special two-part workshop series on October 2nd and 24th, where children will build their own trash puppet dog and contribute ideas towards a larger, professional roving dog puppet set to appear at the Ecotopia Festival in March 2027.

This two-session workshop structure allows the children to experience the creation of a professional puppet from idea to actualisation, working with professional artists whose core mission is to encourage, empower, respect and genuinely listen to their ideas, and incorporate them into a professional puppet design, which will be presented to them at the second workshop session.

The children will also learn about puppetry, including how to animate and operate their own dog puppet, and will take home the knowledge of how to make more puppets from their trash at home.

This is a rare and unique opportunity to be part of a new pilot project and is generously funded by Yarra Ranges Council

Presented as part of the Burrinja Climate Change Biennale 2026.
