PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) -- In a North Portland workshop Saturday afternoon, finishing touches were placed on large-scale puppets designed to help fight climate change.
Artists gathered for the event, hosted by 350-PDX, to create "protest puppets" meant to be displayed during climate change demonstrations.
According to 350-PDX, the puppets are inspired by local native plants and animals like firs, salmon, beavers and herons. They are also built with simple materials like cardboard, papier-mâché and clay.

The workshop and showcase were conducted in partnership with North Carolina-based Paperhand Puppet Intervention.
"350's mission - and also our mission - has a good symbiosis around climate justice and trying to promote stewardship and basically just care for the earth as our only option," said Donovan Zimmerman, Paperhand's Artistic Director who taught the artists in the workshop.
350-PDX said these puppets will be used in future marches and demonstrations with the goal to attract people to look at the puppets, as well as hear the messages about the environment.
