An Outlandish Vagabond from another world...
Pirateman will run a crash course in how to do some special creative craft activities for young scallywags wanting to be pirates. The 3 main pirate craft workshops Pirateman runs are
- Treasure Map Making
- Design and creating Pirate Ships
- Treasure chest creation and treasure hunting
Each workshop includes a 30 minute Participatory Pirate Puppet Adventure show where kids receive a pirate puppet companion that will help them in this adventure based show. Following a large map, searching for clues and overcoming trials of fellow pirate puppet inhabitants on an enchanted island, children discover that the greatest treasure of all isn't gold or silver or jewels, but rather the adventures that we go on and all of the things we see, do and discover. All 3 craft workshops tie into this show nicely.
Pirate themed games are included too in a workshop to help promote working together as a crew and "sharing" the treasure. Thanks to the Eco Faeries, Pirateman also promotes up-cycling and re-using old materials. The idea that 'treasure' is anything that is precious or valuable to us, even the very things that surround us everyday is a big part in each workshop.
