Activities and events will relate to the artistic programs we present, offering the chance for parents to expand the Irish Arts Center experience for their children. 

Children’s Animation Workshop with Lisa O’Donnell

Saturday, December 5
11 am – 2 pm | Ages 6 - 12

After a successful debut workshop last spring, Galway-born artist Lisa O’Donnell returns to IAC to lead a stop-motion animation class for children. To tie in with our annual Irish Christmas concerts, this season’s workshop will explore the theme of winter solstice. Young animators will produce a storyboard for their groups’ film, make clay characters, and create props from paint, colored pencil, collage and mixed media works. Children can see their work come to life on camera, producing animated films 1-2 minutes long.
