THE ART OF SMALLFILMS

This book presents the Smallfilms archive the puppets and cut-outs from these se ries, along with insights into how thet were made. It's a book full of old string, pipe cleaners, cotton wool, wire and ping-pong ba lls, because they are the humble ingredients used by Postgate and Firmin.
