Each online course typically includes:

• Step-by-step video lessons you can watch at your own pace
  
  

• Clear demonstrations of tools, materials, and techniques
  
  

• Downloadable guides, templates, and reference materials (when applicable)
  
  

• Project planning and design guidance
  
  

• Construction, assembly, and finishing techniques
  
  

• Tips for performance, movement, or presentation (for puppet-based projects)
  
  

• Lifetime or long-term access so you can revisit the material anytime
  
  

Many courses also include:

• Creative prompts and variations to make the project your own
  
  

• Ideas for adapting projects for classrooms, workshops, or community groups
  
  

• Behind-the-scenes insights into professional puppet-building and large-scale art-making

ArtJoy’s courses are not theoretical—they are built around making real things with your hands.

Some courses focus on:

• Building specific types of puppets (hand puppets, wearable puppets, rod puppets, giant puppets, masks, or hybrid forms)
  
  

• Learning construction techniques (papier-mâché, fabric work, structural building, painting, finishing, etc.)
  
  

• Creating props, costumes, or performance elements
  
  

• Designing characters, creatures, and visual storytelling elements
  
  

Other courses focus more on:

• Creative process and idea development
  
  

• Storytelling through objects and movement
  
  

• How to bring inanimate forms to life
  
  

• Teaching, facilitating, or leading puppet-based or art-based experiences
  
  

Using puppetry and art for education, community engagement, or ritual and performance

Each ArtJoy course is its own creative world. Some are:

• Skill-focused and technique-driven
  
  

• Some are complete start-to-finish build projects
  
  

• Some are playful, accessible, and great for families or classrooms
  
  

• Some are more advanced and designed for artists, educators, or performers
  
  

• Some focus on expressive, personal, or symbolic work rather than just construction
  
  

All courses share the same core values:

• Creativity over perfection
  
  

• Resourcefulness and accessible materials
  
  

• Learning by doing
  
  

Making art that is meaningful, expressive, and alive

ArtJoy’s online courses are perfect for:

• Artists and makers
  
  

• Teachers and educators
  
  

• Performers and puppeteers
  
  

• Parents and families
  
  

• Community artists and facilitators
  
  

• Anyone who wants to reconnect with hands-on creativity and imaginative play
  
  

No prior experience is required for most courses—just curiosity and a willingness to try.

All courses are designed to be:

• Self-paced
  
  

• Accessible from anywhere
  
  

• Rewatchable whenever you need a refresher or want to build again
  
  

You’re not just watching—you’re building a toolkit of skills, techniques, and creative confidence that you can use again and again.

ArtJoy’s online courses are more than tutorials—they are invitations into a creative practice that blends art, storytelling, craft, and imagination into something you can hold in your hands and bring to life.
