About this Event

This hands-on 90min family workshop introduces you to stop-motion animation inspired by Cornwall’s folklore. Working with ready-made, cut-out puppets, participants will concentrate on animation techniques, sequencing and sound, finishing the session with a completed mini film. All materials will be supplied.

Led by celebrated professional animator Sarah Beeby

Fun, creative, confidence-building – and you don’t need any experience at all!

Age Range 7-13yrs.

All children must be accompanied by an adult, max 3 children per accompanying adult. Tickets are available on a first come first served basis. Please book tickets for everyone in your group including adults.

Workshops are being held in the Guildhall next to the Museum of Cornish Life. There are a couple of steps into the Guildhall. A ramp is available if needed. You must let us know in advance when you book so we can arrange for the ramp to be in place.

These workshops are part of Mini Animate Helston, funded by the Film Audience Network, part of Cornwall Film Festival, designed to make animation accessible to all and inspire the next generation of creative talent.
