Dive into the malleable medium of claymation! In this class, you'll create a short animation using handmade characters and your very own set. Following the traditional techniques of stop-motion animation, this class will focus on the magic of clay and its potential to be ever-changing.

  • Students may bring their own iPads, but VisArts has iPads and Apple pencils to use. Please download Stopmotion studio prior to class if bringing your own iPad. VisArts is not responsible for lost equipment.

Evie Metz

Evie Metz is an award-winning animator, photographer, and interdisciplinary artist. Her creative practice explores the cycle of life and the values of human beings.

Her introduction at an early age to photography was through a darkroom. That one-of-a-kind magic inspires her more experimental and expressive approach to making pictures and engaging the world around her. She also specializes in fabricating puppets and miniatures for the worlds she handcrafts and brings to life through stop-motion animation.

Her passion for teaching manifests in encouraging people to be their authentic selves while discovering their creative vision. By providing confidence with tools, techniques, and skills for professional execution, she seeks to cultivate a supportive community that begins in the classroom and continues on afterward.
