Students designed and fabricated original puppets that combined character development, textile craft, and digital fabrication. Starting with sketches and muslin prototypes, they cut and sewed fur bodies, 3D-modeled and printed eyes, and developed accessories to match each puppet’s personality. Packaging was designed from puppet silhouettes and produced through laser cutting and print. The project culminated in a public exhibition featuring the puppets alongside posters, screen-printed shirts, ID cards, and a zine catalog—showcasing the breadth of skills and media students engaged in through collaborative production.
