The Center For Contemporary Art

Get into the Halloween spirit and experiment with the techniques that make stop motion magic happen. Learn how to sculpt charming critters, spooky monsters, and fantastic creatures, then use your phone or tablet to bring your characters to life. Inspired by movies like Coraline, The Nightmare Before Christmas, and Corpse Bride, this workshop introduces the basics of stop motion, from sculpting and posing your character to capturing movement frame by frame.

This family-friendly workshop is open to ages 10 and up. Participants ages 10–13 are welcome to attend with a registered adult. The adult and child must each register. Participants ages 14 and older may attend independently.

For this class, students will need a smartphone or tablet with a working camera. The Stop Motion Studio App should be downloaded to the device before the start of class.
