Who is Bernd Ogrodnik?

Hi, I'm Bernd!

After almost 40 years of working as a highly successful Puppeteer, I know that puppets are a powerful tool to entertain, educate, inspire, and heal.

I've been performing, directing, and creating Marionettes, Puppets, and Masks for theaters, operas, collectors, museums, commercials, and TV around the world.

I've also gained a worldwide reputation through ground-breaking work as a designer and lead puppeteer for the marionette movie "Strings", screened in movie theaters worldwide and garnished with nominations and prizes at film festivals around the world.

However, I'm also a father and grandfather, 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.

Now I teach thousands of people online how to create wooden puppets. In this FREE lesson, you’ll learn my step-by-step method to develop a character.

Whether a novice or an experienced artist, this video will get your creative ideas flowing.
