LEGO Stop Motion Animation: Saturday, May 11th 10:00am - 11:00am

Class Overview

An introduction to bringing your LEGO to life with stop motion animation!

All animation levels are welcome, ages 7 and up.

Taught by Portland-based animator Aarica North, the one-hour class will introduce new students to LEGO stop motion animation and give students with previous animation experience the chance to learn new skills and use our animation supplies to make their LEGO movies. 

Parents/guardians are welcome to participate in the workshop free of charge!

Students should arrive fed, prepared to learn, and with a device that contains the Stop Motion Studio app installed and activated (free app is perfectly fine!) 

Students will go home with the inspiration and knowledge to keep animating at home + 1 small bag of BULK LEGO with minifigs and stop motion supplies!
