This one day workshop will introduce future animators to 2D stop frame animation using their own ideas, artwork and storytelling skills. We will encourage participants to tell their own stories through moving image, by exploring 2D methods of animation using iPad technology. Participants will have the opportunity to create their own artwork in different ways and learn how to work with stop frame animation techniques to make their own short film.

In this workshop we will explore songwriting; rhythm, rhyming and harmony as well as visual arts. Together we will write a song by brainstorming ideas and using a variety of creative techniques and games. - Once created, we will then record the song in the space!

Make a Nature Journal with Hazel Garrity
Join bookbinding extraordinaire Hazel Garrity for this creative workshop for 10-16 year olds at your local library. Learn how to create your very own nature journal using traditional bookbinding tools and techniques.
Keeping a nature journal is a great way to slow down, look around and connect with the world outside. Through simple step-by-step demonstrations in a relaxed atmosphere, you will learn some of the key processes for bookmaking. Then you will be able to make free choices about layout, design and content for your own hand bound notebook. You will take home a carefully crafted and personalised journal which you can continue to fill with observations, ideas and images in the months to come. There may be opportunities for some fresh air and inspiration outside the library, too.
If your booking is made within 72 hours of the workshop, we may not be able to accommodate specific dietary requirements. Please get in touch with the library location for the workshop to discuss options. Please note that whilst we welcome all young people, our staff are not specifically SEND trained.

Digital Billboard Workshop with Michelle Brace
Join digital artist Michelle Brace for this creative workshop for 10-16 year olds at your local library. Create your own digital billboard using text, collage materials and visual mixing techniques!
Through a hands-on process of building up a colourful collage using images, text, acrylic markers and collage papers you will create a design for your billboard that can be re-mixed and added to in Procreate on the iPad (supplied for use in the workshop). Your digital design will be uploaded into a mock-up app so that you can see your work displayed, in its full creative glory, in its street location (think bus stop display or large-scale advertising hoarding).
You can expect to come away from the day with skills in digital mixing, editing and an experience of working with layers and layer masks but, if you prefer just to collage, that is awesome too. You will still be able to create your own digital billboard! The session will include a playful exploration of words and text so that, if you like, you can get your message out there along with your awesome creativity via your billboard. Your digital designs will be shared digitally after the workshop and an A4 printed copy of your digital billboard will be given to you to take home.
If your booking is made within 72 hours of the workshop, we may not be able to accommodate specific dietary requirements. Please get in touch with the library location for the workshop to discuss options. Please note that whilst we welcome all young people, our staff are not specifically SEND trained.
