Wood Carver and Marionette Maker
Luděk Burian is a wood carver from The Czech Republic specializing in marionettes. He first taught himself how to carve as a hobby in 2010. After studying at construction school and working for several years in the industry, he realized it wasn’t the vocation for him and decided to turn his passion for puppetry into a career.
Since then, he has showcased his work in a solo exhibition at a puppet gallery in Prague alongside crafting custom pieces for private clients. Luděk also shares his woodenworks of art and creative process with over 30K followers on Instagram.
