About Me
I've made a living in art and puppetry for over thirty years. I visit schools and universities teaching puppetry and sculpture. This will be my 18th year playing Santa Claus. I can't think of anyone I know that likes or has a better job than I do.

Buckingham School
Hi all, I'm at Buckingham School this month. What great teachers and students. They are making fantastic insects and fish. Made from Styrofoam. Examples are on my web site, under residencies . I have started a new art form, painting stars on ceilings. The stars are invisible until you turn out the lights. See all you kids at Buckingham soon. Mr. Walther

things have changed
Hi, I have been very busy the last six months. I have moved into a 2400 sq. ft. shop. I can now build some sculptures I have not had the room to create. Like a castle with a dragon wrapped around it, like a whole space center, like a whole bunch of new puppets. I even have room to really get organized. Next week I visit Pendleton, Oregon to work with about 150 students. My dog gets to go with me. If you are visiting my web site, be sure to check out my sculptures.

LaPine
Hi, I'm doing a puppet week at LaPine Elementery School. Last week I did two Head Start Schools. What fun 4 and 5 year olds are. The teachers were surprised that I could keep thier attention for over 30 min. They laughed so long and loud. The kids and teachers. I'm putting on another 50 puppets on my web this next week. Some will be finger puppets. Others will be Wayang Golicks and Kulits from Indoniesia. The finger puppets will be $3.00 and the Wayangs will be $150.00 . Talk to you again soon. William

What fun
Hi, I sure have had fun the last few months, I have worked in schools in Ontario, Pendelton, and Corvallis. I am now on my way to Winston. In those schools I have had two after school family nights. They were both FANTASTIC. We had over 100 people for each night. I also had three weeks at High Lakes Elementary School in Bend. All my Schools have been so into making their art that I could never ask for more. My book is now available on my web site. Under Fairy Tales. Bye
