DCC Libraries Summer Workshops

Here's the video from the Dublin City Council Libraries' workshops I held in the month of July.

Myself and Eleanor Holmes facilitated three workshops, Ballyfermot, Cabra and Ballymun, with a total number of 21 different animations being created by the students, whose ages were between 9 and 14.

Special thanks to Anne Gannon, the project co-ordinator, and also Vincent McManus, Phil Scanlan, Gerry Territ and Declan Hayden for their contributions and assistance at each library.

Here are some photos that myself and Eleanor took during the workshop, enjoy!

July is Workshop Month

Hi all again.

For two weeks in July myself and Louise Bagnall will be hosting a junior film school at the Tinahely Courthouse in Co. Wicklow, along with the assistance of Carol Freeman. We'll be working with a different group of students over the course of each week to produce an animated film, which will be screened in August. Details here.

Also, I'm participating with the DCC Libraries again this year for a series of stop-motion workshops. They will be taking place on:
July 19th 14.00-17.00 > Ballyfermot Civic Centre
July 26th 14.00-17.00 > Cabra Library
July 28th 13.00-16.00 > Ballymun Library

More are in the works at the moment as well. All will be revealed as it is confirmed!
