Workshops
are a hands on, practical demonstration of various

animation and plasticine-on-glass. Computers and
video camera are used to capture and replay the
animation instantly. Students then get the opportunity
for hands-on animation using supplied puppets
and materials.

him a valuable resource for students and teachers,
whether their interests lie in writing, puppet
making, film making or simply pursuing their creative
