Petals in motion: a Stop Motion Animation Workshop

​Through a meditative and mindful
approach, this workshop focuses on
natural materials like leaves, flowers,
stems etc. to create unique stop motion
animations. Inspired by our grounding
connection to the land, participants are
asked to reflect on this important
relationship and how it relates to
storytelling and artistic exploration. Then,
participants will be led through the frame
by frame creative and technical process of
how to bring their ideas to life. Including:
how to prepare organic materials,
animate in Stop Motion Studio - a free and
accessible stop motion animation
software, and how to utilize light to
highlight the various tonal values and
unique details found in organic objects. In
the end, participants will have their very
own animated sequences and have a
better understanding of what this playful
and experimental approach has to offer.

​All creators are welcomed as this is an
introductory course. The workshop ends
with a screening of all the work created.
