Fundamentals of animation (applying to all mediums of animated work), armature puppet making, and DIY techniques to make an at home stop motion studio will be covered. You will walk away with your own animated gif to be projected at the end of the workshop.

Preparation: Please bring a phone and have free app “Stop Motion Studio” downloaded before you arrive. Email us if you need assistance with either of these steps. Some materials will be provided but bring whatever paper or cardboard backgrounds, wire, clay, string, colored pencils, construction paper, and fabric you might be interested in using to create your animation.

The workshop will be led by local animator, Cole Kirkendall. He has taught animation workshops for Islands of Brilliance at the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee and for the Autism Society of Greater Wisconsin ⭐️
