Do you want to make things move? Explore the world of claymation, where everything is alive. Create your own unique characters, intricate sets, and foley or musical sounds, as you piece together your imagined world through the hands-on process of stop-frame animation. This longer-form course covers every part of the process from start to finish, spending time on each step along the way.

  • 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.
  • This class counts as a special topics course toward VisArts’ Art League Certificate.
  • Classes are confirmed one week prior to the start date. In order to help us confirm classes, please register as early as possible.  
  • This is an On-site course. Students must follow social distancing protocols and wear masks at all times. For more info visit visarts.org.
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.
