Stories that Teach Empathy and Artmaking, Spark Wonder, and Bring People Together

Welcome to Belfry Creatures’ Workshop, where imagination wanders, and every story finds its way home. We believe that creativity has the power to spark joy, care, and curiosity in the next generation—and we’re on a mission to tell stories and make things that bring that spark into our community. Our first adventure begins with The Lost Becauses: a menagerie of gentle misfits and mysterious friends who need a place to belong.

We are launching an online, episodic puppet series, along with classes and workshops that you can help bring to life.

Stay Tuned!

As the creatures prepare for their debut in December 2025, we are looking for early supporters to join us on a journey…
