Unraku is officially moved into our new studio space!  We have shuffled (and re-shuffled) and then shuffled our stuff around again, and gotten down to working on fabulous masterpieces.

Mathieu saving the day in broken lighting equipment armour.

Mathieu came from Montreal to help us get settled, and everyone in Toronto got down to business. Keys were lost. Keys were found, and when they weren’t, bolt cutters entered the picture. The point is, we had the tools to get the job done!

Highlights of our new space include a loft shop area, which is full of fabulous things like jars of eyeballs and much-coveted bags of fun fur and hands on sticks. We still need to make a shopping trip for some sewing necessities like black thread, but in general, it is a feast for a puppet-makers eyes!

On the main level we have an amazingly comfy couch, areas to film and edit and a mini-fridge and a mouse I affectionately call “Horace”. He likes pizza and potato chips. A lot. And he’s not so good at sharing.

So here we are, a big, slightly wacky bunch, with glints in our eyes, eyes on our hands, hands in the mini fridge, and a mini fridge in our new home.
