Welcome! Shelley King is a multi-passionate creator based in Peterborough, Ontario (Nogojiwanong — “place at the end of the rapids”). Inspired by the natural beauty around her, she creates playful, joy-filled experiences and handmade treasures designed to spark creativity and nourish the soul.

For over four decades, Shelley has performed for and taught thousands of people of all ages and abilities. Explore her Puppet Workshops — there’s something for every inner child — or connect with her to design a custom experience.

Shelley’s love of paper-printing has blossomed into the Connection Collection, featuring one-of-a-kind jewelry and bookmarks made from her own hand-printed papers. Collaged wall art and home accessories are coming soon. Follow along on social media to see where her work is popping up around Peterborough.

In 2025, Shelley launched The Marvelous Makers Studio, an after-school art program for creative kids in Peterborough. Multi-week sessions build skills, confidence, and joyful connection through hands-on exploration. Beginning Fall 2026, new programs for adults will join the lineup.
