Founded in the 1960s, the workshop has created costumes and puppets for productions ranging from “The Dark Crystal” to “Five Nights at Freddy’s,” with artisans handcrafting every piece. Shop leaders say the tours are designed to spotlight the decades of skill and craftsmanship behind some of entertainment’s most beloved characters.
