We're sitting down this week with Alex Calbick and Tiffany Bubna of Spokane Puppetry, which is a new organization that aims to share their passion for puppetry as a craft and puppets as a creative medium.

This year, Spokane Puppetry's previously ad hoc workshops are now a regular monthly event at both Art Salvage and Spark Central.

The first workshop of 2026 is at Art Salvage on January 10, and the second is at Spark Central on January 17. This month's workshop theme is shadow puppets.

Alex and Tiffany came in ahead of those workshops to talk about how the two of them came together around puppetry and why it's such an exciting and unique art form.

And to help make their case, they brought with them special guests like Kritch Kriggle and Takeout. If you want to see them instead of just hearing their voices, be sure to check out the vodcast.
