A busy, fun session at Teignmouth Pavilions last Wednesday with a group of super-creative and focused children making their own spin on the Lilo and Stitch film as a stop-motion animation. Here’s what they produced – in two hours!

Virtual Recipe Book for Gaza
I’m taking part in an online project called “Virtual Hug for Gaza”.

“Sea Crowns”
The guys became sea goddesses for the day at our last session! We made painted and printed papers then used templates to cut and stick our beautiful crowns with coloured fish, shells, mermaids and seaweed. The original idea came from a similar workshop activity by Zanna Hubbard, whose illustration and art I LOVE!

Small World Animations – where Fireball XL5 meets Button Moon!
Scouring the backwaters of the ITV Hub for a period drama to watch (!!), I came across Fireball XL5 – all the complete series. An early 1960s Gerry Anderson “Supermarionation” (yes, that’s where Super Mario gets his name from) children’s series, I absolutely LOVED this when I was a little kid, and would always watchContinue reading “Small World Animations – where Fireball XL5 meets Button Moon!”
