Puppet Design & Fabrication
Looking for someone to help bring your vision to life? Connor has built more than a thousand puppets professionally, academically, and for fun. His experience spans a wide variety of styles; from fifteen-foot walk-arounds to miniature paper puppets, and everything in between.
Puppet mechanics - blinking eyes, flapping wings, specialized controls - are some of Connor's favorite projects, but he also draws inspiration from the movement and elegance of more simplistic puppet forms.
If you're interested in commissioning a custom puppet (sorry, no trademarked characters), please check out the Puppet Gallery below and submit your inquiry on the Contact page. Please note that the pricing of puppets varies greatly depending on the design, timeline, complexity, and materials, but Connor will work with you to answer any questions and develop a project budget.
CUSTOM PUPPETS
I understand how important it is to create a lasting visual impact. My puppet building services are available and customizable to suit all needs. With creating an original custom character, I’ll help you achieve the look and style, as well as specific functionality of the puppet you have in mind. Hand built with the finest materials. From the initial character design concept to the final outcome of the piece, I will work diligently towards bringing your vision to life in the most professional manner.
WALK-AROUND PUPPETS
I have a strong passion for creating large walk-around puppet costumed characters. Characters created to be performed by hand, mech, and lever controlled as well as radio-controlled, allowing movement of the vital head and body features. All forms of walk-around puppet costume movement are an option as we go above and beyond to ensure our clients' large puppet suit functionalities get the attention they need and deserve.
RENTAL PUPPETS
If you don't have the time or budget to have a custom puppet built, you can rent one from our stock for a reasonable daily rate.
Our rental puppets can be customized to fit the needs of your project. Whether it's an individual character or a full cast, any and all existing customizations are possible to be built from our minds directly to your own hands.
Puppet Commission Steps
1. Connecting.
Reach out to us with your puppet needs. No project is too big or too small.

All you need is an idea of what you would like, reference photos and sketches work well. Creventive Puppet Company is happy to advise what would work best for your specific needs.
