Why Choose Pubbets?

  • Hooked since 1982

    I was the kid who took a puppet everywhere. Fast-forward: I now hand-build each premium Pubbet in my little workshop in Thailand - one character at a time.

  • Custom puppets since 2016

    I started on a kitchen table while teaching in China. Today I design, pattern, and finish puppets made to perform - on stage or on camera.
