Do you want to make things move? Explore the world of claymation, where everything is alive. Create your own unique characters, intricate sets, foley or musical sounds, and piece together your imagined world through the hands-on process of stop-frame animation.

This class counts as a core course toward VisArts’ Art League Certificate.

  • Students need a camera (phone, tablet, or DSLR) to animate with and record sound. Students will need an iPad or tablet that can download a free stop motion app- VisArts has a few to borrow during class- if you need one, please reach out to Tesni at Tstephen@visarts.org to reserve one.
  • Due to a set of stairs, this classroom is not wheelchair accessible.

Metz, Evie

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.
