A beginner-friendly, hands-on stop motion workshop where you’ll learn animation basics and make GIFs and short videos to share.
About this Event

In this fun half-day workshop, participants will explore simple animation principles and experiment with paper, clay, and found objects to create playful, looping animations using a free stop motion app on your smartphone.

Learn by doing with guidance and support throughout as you set up shots, capture movement frame by frame, and export your work.

Each participant will leave with at least one finished animation and a printed take-home zine with step-by-step instructions to keep practicing.

No experience necessary — all are welcome!
