SAG-AFTRA New England Local member, puppeteer and owner of CJS Workshop LLC Rob Saunders speaks at the May 23 Massachusetts Production Coalition spring meeting in Boston. A New England native, Saunders relocated to Massachusetts in 2021 from Tennessee and opened CJS Workshop, a premier puppet and costume design/fabrication and maintenance/refurbishment studio dedicated to the entertainment and advertising industries. The company has grown from two to 18 full-time employees in two years and is on track to double staff in another two years. Like Saunders himself, most of the team of puppeteers on staff are SAG-AFTRA members.
Saunders spoke about the company’s work and unique capabilities, and how he has built a team of local artists, puppeteers, fabricators and craftspeople to serve some of the biggest entertainment companies in the world.
