Hi, I’m Sketch the Pencil Puppet from the One Way UK Creative Productions Workshop! I’m great for drawing attention to your message and of course, really cool in skool! Erm wait… at least I think it is spelt like that… anyway, people really take notice of the notices when I read them too!
Sketch is handbuilt by the One Way UK Creative Production team of professional puppet builders for the highest quality finish and function. Features our signature ball grip in the mouth. He includes a long black sleeve to hide the puppeteer’s arm and is operated from the base of the puppet.
Approx. 43cm in height (not including the 25cm long black sleeve). Available exclusively from One Way UK.

With yesterday being ‘Drawing Day’, we thought that it was the perfect opportunity for our Pencil Puppet…which we have named ‘Mark’ to feature in his first ‘sketch’. Our young people didn’t know that we had got him…so were expecting one of our people or animal puppets to pop up…so they were really surprised and impressed when Mark appeared! He may be a relatively ‘simple’ (sorry Mark) puppet but he really held the attention of the young people and was really easy to operate with one hand…being a ‘tube style’ puppet, without the need for arm to be controlled by a rod! We used him in a ‘Youth Work’ context in our smaller room…but Mark is large enough…and has such good contrast against the black fabric of a puppet theatre, that he would have worked fine in our Main Church Service or in a larger room. While he is over 40cm tall he is very lightweight meaning that he is suitable for being used buy an adult…or junior puppeteer without any problems. The ‘black sleeve’ which is light weight…works perfectly to hide the arm of the person operating the puppet and can be easily tucked inside the puppet when you wish to store it. We can’t wait to be able to use him again…we’ll have to start drawing up plans for his next appearance! We think this pencil puppet is fantastic and are sure you’d think the same if you bought one.
