  • "Everything our pros use, we got to use! We were able to use their tools of the trade and felt amazing doing it! We were given alot of trust and confidence in using items that many of us were using for the first time and our puppets came out amazing!"

  • "SO FUN! I was nervous getting in front of the camera but Ragmop & Goose put us at ease and embraced the silliness of our new puppet friends and the process itself. It really gave me a new perspective and appreciation of the challenges and joys of what you all are doing behind the scenes. The experience was quite valuable."

  • "I was a little worried that taking the workshop would lose some of the magic that Ragmop and Goose provide. In actuality, it made it that much more special. Seeing a glimpse of their hard work and dedication to the craft is beyond compare. Thanks Jessie and Gus for letting me into your magical world!"

  • "The price was well worth the experience. It felt like quite the deal to be welcomed in to the studio and have the access to the materials tools and knowledge we were given. The small group size and individual attention provided by both Jessie and Gus. I felt so comfortable and welcomed and that helped my confidence. The best was being able to see the performances and even interact our puppets with Ragmop & Goose celebrities, that was the ultimate dream come true."

  • "This environment was SOOOO comforting and I felt so supported throughout every decision. It felt good to not feel like “well are they going to like/dislike that” the vibe was just to have fun. And I absolutely loved it."

  • "I sometimes struggle with completing crafts/projects, even when I’m really excited about them. I was so happy to start and complete a project in just a few hours, and have it turn out so well! I’ve had many compliments on how professional my puppet looks. I was only able to do that because of R&G's direction and support, and the support of my classmates. Thank you! <3"
