What is the Stop Motion Animation Workshop?
Get cosy, get creative, and discover the magic of stop motion animation! In this relaxed two-hour workshop, you'll sculpt your own clay characters, learn the basics of animation, and leave with your animated clips - no experience needed. It's the perfect creative night out with friends, a place to meet people, a unique date idea, or something different for a hen or stag celebration. (Email me if you would like to book a workshop for an event.)
Taught by a professional stop motion animator:
My name is Maraike Kraemer, and I'm a professional stop motion animator with experience working on productions including Wallace & Gromit, Chicken Run, and Shaun the Sheep. I'll guide you through the fundamentals before you create your own short animation. No previous experience is needed - just bring your curiosity and creativity. ˙ᵕ˙
What to expect:
The workshop takes place at Unity Studios BS2 in Bristol.
We'll begin with a simple introduction to the basics of stop motion and the Stop Motion Studio app. Once everyone's feeling confident, you'll start sculpting your own clay characters and creating your animation. If you've animated before, you're welcome to jump straight into making your film.
Need inspiration? I'll have plenty of fun story prompts to get your imagination going, but you're free to animate whatever you like!
Toilets, kitchen area, and free parking available.

Hi, my name is Maraike Kraemer.
As a professional stop-motion animator, I’ve had the pleasure of working on films & series like "Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget", "Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl", "Shaun the Sheep" Series 7, and "Pokémon Tales: The Misadaventures Of Sirfetch'd & Pichu" at Aardman Animations.
Animation and teaching are my greatest passions, and with my own studio ‘Jolly Fox Studio’, I’m lucky enough to combine both. My approach to teaching is centered around inclusivity, creating a space where everyone feels comfortable asking questions and learning at their own pace. I believe the best way to learn is through enjoyment, where making mistakes is part of the fun, not something to be afraid of.
At Jolly Fox Studio, I offer a range of workshops, including Kid's Claymation, Animate & sip sessions for a relaxed go at stop motion animation for adults, needle felting, where you can create felted objects and, if you’d like, animate them, as well as stop-motion animation courses for beginners and intermediate animators. My beginner courses are perfect for those new to animation, offering a relaxed, fun introduction. For those who are ready to take their skills to the next level, the intermediate courses provide a deeper dive into industry-level techniques.
I also offer feedback sessions for showreels and am available for talks and interviews.
Let’s create something amazing together!
