Stop-Motion Puppet Lab
Led by: Pablo Monterrubio
Where: bim bom studios
When: Sat. August 9 at 12pm - 3pm CT
Join artist and filmmaker Pablo Monterrubio for a special Stop Motion Puppet Building Workshop! In this hands-on class, you’ll dive into the world of stop motion animation by constructing your own posable puppet from scratch. Using aluminum wire, foam, and simple materials, we’ll build strong, flexible armatures and create expressive characters ready for animation.
Whether you’re an artist, animator, filmmaker, or just curious about the magic of puppets and stop motion, this workshop offers a fun, approachable way to explore the craft. No experience necessary, just bring your creativity and a willingness to get experimental!
