Al Martinez Studios closes
I’m sad to report that Al Martinez Studios in Melbourne has closed.
This is somewhat old news: it happened a month or so ago. I’ve not heard any specific reasons as to why, only that some sort of sudden emergency has seen the company close for good. Al has been letting everyone know that he is letting go of props, puppets and so forth; and is also closing down the actual studio (in Kensington) which had recently been flooded - a coincidental event which saw little damage to the premises and contents. The company had been involved in a number of large productions and is well known to Australian puppeteers. Al had been overseas the last few months working on a large-scale production.

@Tom, thanks for the info! Maybe in the future I'll look at getting some.
