Join our free live online Masterclass and Q&A session with Bernd Ogrodnik
Why We Need Puppets Now More Than Ever
If you're craving deeper inspiration, advancements, and mastery as an artist, performer, teacher, or student – you're in the right place.
You see, Puppetry is an umbrella that holds every type of artistic expression. From illustration to sculpting to carving to textile to painting to performing to storytelling to creative writing, and we could go on and on…
In a world increasingly dominated by AI and constant overstimulation, we are urged to release our full creative potential to safeguard the human spirit and soul.
This is your opportunity to get inspiration, encouragement, and support from one of Puppetry's most prolific designers and performers in the intimate setting of his workshop sanctuary.
Bernd Ogrodnik will share his personal approach to puppetry and why he promotes the art of the wooden puppet.

Meet Bernd: 40+ years of experience, 50,000+ hours teaching, 1,000+ students, and 8,000+ live performances
Hi, I'm Bernd!
After over 40 years of working as a highly successful Puppeteer, I know that puppets are a powerful tool to entertain, educate, inspire, and heal.
You might know me from the famed Marionette movie epic "Strings" or have seen my performances on our stage at the National Theater of Iceland or somewhere around the far corners of the world.
However, I'm also a father and grandfather, a Knight of the Order of the Falcon for my contribution to the arts and culture, an active black belt in Karate, a passionate musician, a scuba diver, a horse aficionado, and a gardener. All this strongly impacts my art and feeds my passion for life.
I've discovered the way of the puppet as my way of serving this world and making it a better place.
Having taught in universities, theaters, and festivals all around the world, I would be honored to accompany and guide you on this rewarding journey.
