Character Storytelling in Action…
The Creature Works Studio creates original puppet characters designed for storytelling, education, and screen.
Founded by puppeteer and creator Tom Stewart, the studio blends nearly three decades of experience in film production, puppet fabrication, and youth programming to develop characters that connect with audiences in meaningful ways.
From handcrafted performance puppets to the development of original children’s media concepts, the studio focuses on one core idea:
Great characters have the power to teach, inspire, and bring people together.
Whether appearing in classrooms, community programs, digital media, or live performance, these characters are built to spark imagination and make stories unforgettable.
