Animate & Sip
Workshop
What is Animate & Sip?
Grab a drink, get creative, and discover the magic of stop motion animation! In this relaxed two-hour workshop, you'll sculpt your own clay characters, learn the basics of animation, and leave with your own mini film - no experience needed. It's the perfect creative night out with friends, a place to meet people, a unique date idea, or something different for a hen or stag celebration. (Email me if you would like to book a workshops for an event)
Taught by a professional stop motion animator:
My name is Maraike Kraemer, and I'm a professional stop motion animator with experience working on productions including Wallace & Gromit, Chicken Run and Shaun the Sheep, I'll guide you through the fundamentals before you create your own short animation. No previous experience is needed - just bring your curiosity and creativity. ˙ᵕ˙
What to expect:
Workshops take place in cosy pubs and cafés, so you can grab your favourite drink from the bar before settling in for an evening of animation.
We'll begin with a simple introduction to the basics of stop motion and the Stop Motion Studio app. Once everyone's feeling confident, you'll start sculpting your own clay characters and creating your animation. If you've animated before, you're welcome to jump straight into making your film.
Need inspiration? I'll have plenty of fun story prompts to get your imagination going but you're free to animate whatever you like!
