Family Tech Sessions

MadLab Family Tech Sessions is a series of family-friendly events for aspiring young digital creatives aged 7+ and their parents – taking place this January and February at Stockport Museum.

Stop motion animation is made by taking a series of still photographs and adjusting the subject slightly between each shot. When they’re played back in quick succession, they create the illusion of movement. You might recognise this technique from well-known films such as Chicken Run or Coraline.This stop motion animation workshop offers an exciting opportunity to let creativity run free. Using Stop Motion Studio, you’ll build your own miniature world using paper. Fully hands-on and fun, Stop Motion Animation is engaging, exciting, and packed with creative possibilities.Each session is 1.5 hours long.
