Hello Burton Bradstock peeps! Here’s your animation, I hope you like it, and well done for all your ideas and lovely characters!

Wow! I had a lovely day at Fontmell Magna in Dorset last Thursday! The location was the Springhead Trust, which is set in a beautiful garden with its own very ancient spring. (It has been settled for over 4,500 years…) We made a great animation based on the headless skeletons found in the “Viking Pit of Doom”, which was uncovered when they were digging out a new road near Weymouth. Twelve very talented children teamed up to make the film, which gives a possible explanation of how the skeletons got there… Here’s what we came up with!!

Hey Piddletrenthide Viking Animators, here is your animation! I hope you like it – you were all great!

I had a great day a couple of weeks ago at Yeoford primary school. I was working with the lovely Year Twos, who turned out to be a very bright, imaginative and creative bunch of kids! Here’s the animation we made using the painted (by them) window as our background, which was Jess’s idea, and it looked beautiful. Well done all of you, hope to see you all again soon!

I was very chuffed to be asked to design the poster for this year’s Hamilton House Open Day. It will be a great day with loads to see and do so a visit is highly recommended!

More animation workshops coming over half term!!

Hello Watershed Peeps! Here’s the little animation you made set to some music – I hope you like it!

I’m going to be running more workshops at Playfull at Easter – we sold out last time and there are only a limited number of places available, so make sure you book soon!

On 10th and 11th April 5-7 year olds can come and create and animate their own woodland creature at “In the Woods”. The workshops will be run over the two days between 10am and 1pm, and we’ll try and make up some stories too!

On 14th and 15th I’m running “Rabbits on the Moon!” a two-day animation storytelling project for 8-11 year olds. How did those rabbits get there and what did they find? You make up the story and animate your own characters.

For more info either contact me via the Contact page here, or call 07746326860.

Hope to see you there!

Well done everyone who helped make the Frankley Fruity Factor a couple of weeks ago at Frankley Library! Thanks to all the lovely staff there – Sue, Val and Bernie – I had a great day and I hope you all did too. Sorry it’s been a bit of a wait for you to see your film, I had some probs with some of the sound clips so a lot of your brilliant comments aren’t on the final film. I hope you’ll enjoy watching all your characters – you all did really well!!
