Princess - Wooden Marionette

Wooden marionettes have always had a special place in our collection. This Princess rightfully belongs among the most detailed and beautiful pieces. Her face is jolly, the texture of wood stands out, and her dress is hand-sewn and fits her perfectly. Another little masterpiece that will brighten up your home.
Jan's puppets are diverse. Among the dwarves and bandits are also classic fairy-tale characters such as this princess.

How is the marionette made?

It looks like the puppetry tradition of old times. But Jan's handwriting is visible on it. Both in the chisel strokes and in the color and method of patination. And one more interesting thing is worth mentioning. The dress is a combination of painting and fabric. The bodice is admitted to painted wood, the skirt is sewn from pleasant velvet.

Puppet controller and mobility

It is connected to the wooden controller in the classic way. The puppet is attached by a wire from the head, legs and hands are tied to the threads. The wire is an advantage for the puppet also because you can easily play with the puppet, even if you hold it in your hand for the first time. And your threads won't get tangled :)

My marionette-making workshop was the most fun I had during my visit to Prague! Everyone at Czech Marionettes was incredibly welcoming and encouraging. Lucy helped me to put the puppet together while another artist helped me to mix the paint. I love how it turned out! I wanted to do something different yet quintessentially Czech while I was here and this was the perfect choice! If you like arts and crafts and friendly people, you’ll enjoy this workshop. Sadly marionette theater performances are disappearing from Prague. But the talented people who carry on the traditions and artistic crafts are still here and they will gladly introduce you to this wonderful tradition.

Amazing! This little fellow is crafted with skill, love, and whimsy. I have several of the marionettes and each and everyone is a work of art. Can’t recommend enough; adore!
