Bring to life your modeling clay

During this workshop, children will be introduced to the different techniques of 2D animation. They will learn to create their own sets and characters with plasticine or paper. They will then have the opportunity to create their first stop motion animation in teams of 2 or 3 children.

Her practice is eclectic and takes inspiration from science fiction narratives, surrealism and the anxiety related to the female body. Her work combines traditional and new technologies like stop motion and 3D animation and uses materials that are usually associated with craft and femininity (modelling clay, plastic, fake flowers, felt, plaster, Sculpey).
