Jolly Fox Studio

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!
