because of Bernd Academy, I’m studying to make and tune my devices to glitter some pleasure round. 
For all of the hardship Covid introduced, whereas it remoted many, it did open a few of my world, giving me the sudden alternatives to be taught from many puppeteers, and “meet” a worldwide on-line group from the consolation of my little alaskan cabin. Bernd Ogrodnick first Academy Class was such a chance. I might take the time to be taught from a grasp puppeteer in Iceland the way to rework my little workshop right into a partial woodshop, the way to make picket puppets from scratch, the way to use some instruments I used to be so afraid to the touch earlier than, and the way to recover from efficiency worry, all alone good time. Over a yr and a half, I began to really perceive the way to make varied sorts of picket puppets by way of repetition, time, nicely documented classes, and our month-to-month fb Q&A, gaining not solely craftmanships but in addition confidence.
With Bernd’s new Mastermind Program (AMP), I can proceed to be taught on this rhythm that works so nicely for me, as courses are intertwine with my common life and tasks. This yr I am going to deal with tuning my instrument and steadily develop right into a extra “rounded” puppeteer. I proceed to be taught from a group of engaged puppeteers who’re keen to share their doubts and considerations as a lot as their accomplishments. This program as an entire helps to really feel linked and spark pleasure, whereas being very skilled, which is what for me puppetry is all about.
