Movie Making with Sock Puppets

Instructor: Clyde Petersen
Tuition: $50
Max Attendance: 10

Unleash your imagination with what you find in the back of your sock drawer! In this class, kids will spend the first part making sock puppets. Then, the students will work together to decide upon a story and create a short movie starring their puppets. After the class each participant will receive a DVD of the finished film. Students should bring a few socks to use, which will be cut into and glued on. Also, feel free to bring scraps of fabric, yarn and buttons to adorn the puppets with.

Recommended for ages 8-12.

Claymation Madness

Instructor: Bill Jarcho
Tuition: $55
Max Attendance: 10

It's time to create weird clay critters and monsters and make them move! In this fun 4-hour workshop, kids will have the chance to learn some of the basics of clay animation from Bill Jarcho (clay animation expert and all-around-fun-guy). You will learn about the construction of wire armatures, how to build simple clay figures and how to "morph" from one object to another (which is really cool!).

Recommended for children ages 8 and older.

All workshops are held at Northwest Film Forum (1515 12th Ave) unless otherwise specified.

Students MUST register and pay the tuition in advance. To register, call Studio Director Dave Hanagan at 206-329-2629, or register online.
