Maraike Kraemer

Hello!

I’m Maraike, the founder of Jolly Fox Studio.

​​​​​​

As a professional stop-motion animator, I’ve had the pleasure of working on films & series like "Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget", "Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl",  "Shaun the Sheep" Series 7, and "Pokémon Tales: The Misadaventures Of Sirfetch'd & Pichu" at Aardman Animations.

Animation and teaching are my greatest passions, and with Jolly Fox Studio, I’m lucky enough to combine both. My approach to teaching is centered around inclusivity, creating a space where everyone feels comfortable asking questions and learning at their own pace. I believe the best way to learn is through enjoyment, where making mistakes is part of the fun, not something to be afraid of.

At Jolly Fox Studio, I offer a range of workshops, including Kid's Claymation, Animate & sip sessions for a relaxed go at stop motion animation for adults, needle felting, where you can create felted objects and, if you’d like, animate them, as well as stop-motion animation courses for beginners and intermediate animators. My beginner courses are perfect for those new to animation, offering a relaxed, fun introduction. For those who are ready to take their skills to the next level, the intermediate courses provide a deeper dive into industry-level techniques.

I also offer feedback sessions for showreels and am available for talks and interviews.

Let’s create something amazing together!
