About

Hi! I’m Bella, a puppetry specialist, designer and model maker. Coming from a background in performance and live events, I work with a wide range of clients to bring stories to life and engage audiences with animation.

Based in Bristol my company Paper Jungle creates bespoke puppets, toy’s and installation. As a maker I prioritise sustainable materials and hands-on methods. I have always been fascinated by the ability puppets have to capture emotion deep and transport audiences into new worlds

Recent projects include the winter light installation for Webbs Garden Centre, an installation of flying Storks for the Knepp rewilding project and puppet making for Gifford Circus. I lecture at Royal Central School of Speech and Drama and run workshops from my studio.
