Welcome to The World Through Wooden Eyes, home to the John M Blundall Collection, the finest resource of inspirational, multicultural material for the development of creative puppet theatre in the UK.

The Ideas Store is managed by John M. Blundall, one of the world’s leading puppet masters, director, designer, craftsman, and creator of more than 80 major multimedia puppet theatre productions, and collaborator with national theatre, opera and ballet companies, and Stephen Foster, studio craftsman, designer and creator of puppets and masks.

 This site will be constantly changing. We will add more items of the collection and new pages on specific topics, as well as research documents.

If you would like to be included in our occasional e-mail newsletter, send us an e-mail with “Newsletter” in the subject box to info@theworldthroughwoodeneyes.co.uk

We would appreciate it if you could include a short note as well to help us weed out the spam.
