Bring your characters to life by animating your own mini movie!

Do you have a story to tell? Do you like making up stories with legos or other toys? In this workshop led by JAM's Cedar O'Dowd, participants will learn how to create a short stop animation film using provided iPads.

After animating your story, join us for a screening of "The Gruffalo". Based on the beloved children's book, The Gruffalo tells the tale of a mouse who is in search of a nut while encountering numerous predators–Fox, Owl and Snake. To face their fears, the mouse imagines a terrifying monster to frighten away the predators. What happens when the mouse meets the Gruffalo in real life?

10:30 a.m.: Join us in the Nearburg Gallery and Art Forum for the Stop Animation Workshop.
11:30 a.m.: Head into the Loew Auditorium for the-27 minute film screening.

Still North will be selling copies of "The Gruffalo".

Registration is encouraged but not required. This workshop is best suited for youth ages 6 and up.
