The Myanmar Cultural Heritage Trust (MCHT) has announced that the Myanmar Traditional Puppet-Making Course Intake 1/2026 will be opened at the State High School of Fine Arts (Yangon) in Bahan Township, Yangon Region.
The 12-month puppet-making course will cover foundational techniques, the crafting of diverse marionette characters, and opportunities for practical field study.
“This is a course where the Myanmar Cultural Heritage Trust will issue graduation certificates upon completion. We will teach students to the point where they can produce and sell marketable marionettes. Furthermore, we will create market connections to help the graduates sell their commercial-grade pieces,” said course instructor U Aung Than Tun.
The Myanmar Cultural Heritage Trust stated that it will connect students with artistes from the Myanmar puppetry community to help secure a market for their marionettes. — ASH/KNN
