This hands-on workshop is your fun, low-pressure introduction to animation and stop motion – no experience needed, all materials provided.
Across four sessions, we’ll play with techniques like pixilation, everyday objects, paper cut-outs, and thaumatropes, alongside apps like FlipaClip and Stop Motion Studio.
Nudge an object, snap a frame, repeat – and slowly your own tiny world comes to life through tactile and hands on activities.
By the end, you’ll have picked up the basics of animation and made a handful of short animations all your own.
Who it’s for:

Complete beginners and curious first-timers. Basic familiarity with your iPad / tablet is helpful but not essential. We’ll guide you through the rest.

What to bring:

Your ideas and creativity too – so the sessions can shift and grow with whatever the group’s excited about.

Your device – iPad, tablet or mobile phone with the apps FlipaClip and Stop Motion Studio installed.

iPads with apps and pencils are available to be borrowed for use during class.
