Sarah Vigars

Maker Showcase

Sarah Vigars, Hoopoe

Sarah Vigars is a puppet maker and puppeteer with a specialism in marionette making (string puppets).

Her work combines traditional woodcarving practices with contemporary innovations in design. To date, Sarah has built puppets to commission for small-scale theatre, street theatre, film, participatory projects and private collections. She also creates and tours marionette shows for family audiences with her performance company Flying with Strings. In 2023 marionette making was added to the Heritage Crafts Association’s Red List of Endangered Crafts. Sarah is therefore proud to be one of the UK’s few remaining marionette makers and operators.
