Workshops
Everything Under the Sun is more than a single parade day, it is a process of community engagement, imagining, and art-making that starts months before the parade. We hold free public workshops for community members to build masks and puppets at our puppet studio and at farmers markets and community spaces. Our workshops are economically accessible and environmentally sustainable, using upcycled and eco-friendly materials like paper, cardboard and recycled paint.
2026 Community Puppet Builds — Monthly Monday Meet-ups
Starting in February, join us every FIRST MONDAY of the month for our free, open studio, puppet builds, from 6p-9p.
Reed Theatre Annex at 5415 SE 28th Ave.
All levels welcome (children should be accompanied by adults)
Do you have an idea for a puppet, but don’t have the materials? Do you have an idea but don’t know where to start? Or, do you want to work on one of this year’s new parade puppets already in progress?
You don’t need any prior experience to participate. Come learn new skills and build community rooted in creativity and joy!
Please email info@everythingunderthesun.org to RSVP so we know how many people will be attending.
You are invited (but in no way required) to bring food to share with others!
