\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

On Tuesday, March 6, 2018, I attended the second Jim Henson’s Family Hub<\/strong><\/a> Series Summit. It took place at Jim Henson’s Creature Shop<\/strong>, which mainly houses puppets, structures, props for Jim Henson<\/strong> as well as third party-projects. It was a really fun day where we listened to a panel of guest speakers, saw digital and non-digital puppetry demonstrations, learned about puppet-making, and more.<\/p>\n
