FAQs

  • We encourage clients to approach us with as much notice as possible as this gives us the opportunity to consider various options and to carry out sufficient design work or research and development if required. We pride ourselves on the ability to meet tight deadlines, but this can sometimes incur further costs.

  • The cost of a project is completely dependent on your requirements. We are always happy to discuss various options and to try and meet your budget requirements if possible.

    Depending on the project type our process would generally start with some initial design work. Following feedback we would then follow up with further development designs including sculpts. Once we have an agreed design confirmed and signed off, fabrication would commence. Please see below, a typical puppet make case study.

  • Yes. We enjoy the creative challenge of designing characters or concepts from scratch, we are able to keep clients fully informed every step of the way.

  • The company Stitches and Glue was born in 2007, whilst Paul was in his final year studying illustration. Paul developed this idea into a brand, exploring character design and storytelling through his project ‘Monster Workshop’, creating bespoke soft sculptures with endearing back stories, looking for new homes.

    Becky met Paul in 2010 whilst working at BLind SumMiT puppet company, making a 10-foot ogre puppet for an opera in New York. This went on to win the New York Times’ puppet of the year 2010. They have been working together ever since, creating monsters for Stitches & Glue’s project: Monster Workshop, and puppets and costumes for a number of stage shows, TV and film productions.
