Like a musical instrument
Thanks to a superbly crafted and easily manageable control bar, playing with our marionettes can be learned quickly.
The essence, their very varied modes of expression and movement are hidden at first, yet their creation requires a great deal of craftsmanship and artistic knowledge. A marionette is like a musical instrument: you will only experience its true value when playing with it.
A unique specimen
Every marionette is created individually, formed and carved by hand and therefore is a unique specimen. It comes with a certificate and very detailed illustrated instructions in both German and English.
International awards
Our marionettes have already won different international awards, among them the Eurodoll for the best marionette several times, and they were distinguished on the occasion of the Staatspreis für Kunsthandwerk 2004 (handicraft prize). At Europe’s largest handicraft market, the Flachsmarkt in Krefeld, we won the coveted first prize in 2006.
