Participants will create their own works while experiencing the full process of clay animation production—including sculpting, stop-motion filming, scriptwriting, voice recording, and editing. They’ll explore the mechanics of animation and ask “why?” questions on their own, then collaborate in groups to produce original clay animations. We’ll burn the finished films onto DVDs and present them to all participants! They might even count as your summer homework!
