Hi everyone! I’m very excited to announce our first class to teach stop motion basics.

This hands-on class dives into the core principles of animation, making it easy and accessible for beginners. Using your cell phone or tablet, you’ll explore stop motion techniques and complete a simple, shareable animation by the end of the session. Whether you’re curious about animation or want a new way to tell stories, this workshop will give you the tools to bring your ideas to life!

We had a wonderful time at the library’s Maker’s Day event this past weekend. I’m so grateful that the library let us set up a table and do our thing. We set the table up so people walking by could animate! Folks were animating cars, pumpkins, pawns and even small pink flamingos.

It was a blast! We had over 30 different takes! All ages too with the youngest being around 5 I’d guess? There were so many people and so many different mediums of work. The sense of community was really nice. So many creative people all in a single place that nurtures creativity and learning… 

 I had a triggered moment (or maybe I should say glimmered) where I thought back about the time I spent in the library as a child in school. It was a refuge. Bullies didn’t hang out in the library. CS Lewis and Lewis Carroll did.

I concatenated some of the animations from the event into a single video. That’s what you see here. Check it out!!!

The face people make when they click play and see what they’ve just been animating come to life is priceless and electrifying. It’s an expression of wonder and joy. What a wonderful day. Support your library!!!! 

Yay!
I’m really excited to announce that we will have a table at the Maker’s Day event this coming Saturday at The Chattanooga Public Library !
