ANDY WALMSLEY

Andy has had a long association with the Jim Henson Company.

Andy was a typical Muppet fan in England in the 70's but unlike the average kid he was more interested in the technical aspects of how the Muppet show was made. Early aspirations in Puppet building and puppeteering finally gave way to a career as a Television and Theater Set Designer.
