My name is Steve Waters (that's me on the right ok) and I am a puppet maker and amateur puppeteer living in Basildon in Essex, England.

My interest in puppets started quite a long time ago when, as a kid, I would enjoy Punch and Judy shows at various seaside resorts. (erm.. do we call them 'resorts'? well maybe not..) In any case, this is when I first became fascinated with puppets and puppetry. Actually, now I think about it, I'm sure we just called it 'The Seaside'.

In recent years I have taken an interest in the design and build of puppets. I have built puppets out of various materials, but mainly these days I use foam.

If you have any questions about my work or this web site then please do drop me a line. I love to hear from anybody with an interest in any aspect of puppetry. Please also check out my project page which gives details of a theatre project I am hoping to get started in 2007.
