Flipbooks

Flipbooks are one of my favourite workshops. A fantastic introduction to animation, introducing basic animation principles and developing creativity using a simple pad of paper and pencils! The ultimate portable animation workshop, I've run these at indoor and outdoor festivals and education events.

Film Workshops

Film is a powerful and empowering storytelling tool that allows children and young to discover and develop their voice - and express themselves. In education, animation filmmaking is an incredible cross-curricular art-form that can touch every subject. Every narrative filmmaking experience blends art and science, maths and English, and often includes drama, music and many more.

ASIFA Workshop Group

The workshop group started in 1971. Each year, children around the world, in 23 countries and on 4 continents create animations based on a common theme. The Animation Workshop Group (AWG) is a group of artist-teachers who believe that animation can help children express their creativity and tell their own stories.

Made by under 15s in a week long workshop, these 2 minute films are highly visual with no-dialouge allowed for the world-wide audience.

An animated campaign film promoting healthy lifestyle choices for young people, Hungry for Health was made as part of the British Library's, Campaign! Make an Impact innovative initiative that uses history to inspire young people into active citizenship.

Produced by Titus Salt School and Amandus-Abendroth-Gymnasium School. Four troubled teenagers, with little musical talent, from Saltaire in England and Cuxhaven, in north Germany, enter a magical world triggered by images of the German folktale 'The Musicians of Bremen'. The journey they take, through the vibrant and unusual world of CuxAire, changes them both personally and physically.

An animated short film made by young women from the youth panel at Experience Barnsley Museum to mark the 30th anniversary of the 1984/85 Miner's Strike. The young people re-wrote verses of the song 'Women of the Working Class' that the Women Against Pit Closures used as their anthem on the picket lines.
