Back by popular demand! Following the sell-out success of their February half-term sessions, Coventry-based studio Let's Animate return to the Herbert with more stop-motion masterclasses as part of our World Earth Day celebrations.

Celebrating the arrival of Dippy the dinosaur in Coventry, these hands-on workshops, offer budding animators a chance to bring their own pre-historic stories to life by making plasticine model dinosaurs.

Participants will develop animation techniques and learn new skills along the way, including storytelling, set design, character building, filming and recording voiceovers. The final films will also be uploaded to Let's Animate's social media and YouTube channel, and can be shared with friends and family. Our series of art masterclasses are fantastic for encouraging creative minds and enhancing the skills of young artists.
