Stop-Motion Animation Family Workshop
This summer holiday, as part of Watershed’s Cracking Films Gromit - 50 years of Aardman season we're excited to invite young people aged 8–14 and their grown-ups to a stop-motion animation workshop with Artist William Thompson.
This hands on workshop will explore some of the basics of building your own stop-start animations using clay models and some simple phone technology.
About our film offer
This workshop is inspired by Shaun The Sheep. Throughout the summer, we celebrate 50 years of Bristol’s global animation stars, Aardman, with a summer of their cracking films. You'll be able to enjoy everything from the early, award-winning Wallace & Gromit short films - including one featuring their dastardly arch-nemesis, Feathers McGraw - through to the duo's move into feature films.
Workshop bookers can receive 15% off film tickets if they book them at the same time for Shaun The Sheep screening on Sat 15 or Wed 26 August.
