Lyon Hill, Puppet Maker | Original SC

"I can't make something to be popular...the best thing I can do is make it interesting to me and then I hope that...that I am like other people and it will find an audience...so being fiercely true to yourself, as a way of actually making something that connects with other people, has been what I try to do."

This explains a lot about Lyon Hill. He's the Artistic Director at Columbia Marionette Theatre located in Columbia, South Carolina. He has been a puppetmaker and puppeteer since 1997. Hill talks about puppet making and his passion!
