Joe has over 10 years of puppetry experience and specialises in building and performing hand and rod puppets (see "my work" for examples).
Joe started puppetry from a young age after witnessing a Punch and Judy show and has since branched out to working with lots of puppetry forms such as Marionettes, Rod Puppets and Bunraku style Puppetry. Joe is hugely inspired by the works of Jim Henson and the Jim Henson Company such as Sesame Street, The Muppets, Labyrinth and Fraggle Rock and he hopes to one day work on a Henson project in the future.
