Friday, October 30 • 6–8 PM: Workshop #2, followed by a theater viewing of Wildwood - Sign up here!
($5-15 donation suggested)
Learn the art of stop motion with Lars C. Larsen, a member of the LAIKA Studios team, during two consecutive workshops. Then join us at the theater to see LAIKA’s new film, Wildwood! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to learn from an industry professional, hear what goes into bringing an animated world to life, and then view the film on the big screen! A limited number of FREE movie tickets are available, so sign up now! Workshops build on each other, so attending both is preferable. However, if you can't make both, you're still welcome to register for and attend only one.
