AirSpace have started workshops!

We have now completed two workshop sessions:

A Series of Unlikely Events:

with Creative Partnerships at Grove Junior School, Northwood, Stoke on Trent.

We had a great time teaching year 5 at Grove junior school about animations. They learnt about flick books, animation techniques and we held an awards ceremony at the end with presentation of photographs to the school.

RT8 Arts and Consultation:

At Kings Hall, Stoke.

Along similar lines we gave young people a chance to try out their plasticene model making techniques and shoot an animation.

The RT8 animation is available to see online check out www.airspacegallery.org and follow the ‘services’ link.

The Grove Junior School workshop was covered by The Sentinel, the local newspaper and hopefully the animation will be available on their website for viewing.
