FAQs

  • Women and non-binary creators face big barriers in animation. Though 60% of students are women, only 30% enter the industry. Our workshops support these artists with space, resources, and community to level the playing field and fix this imbalance.

  • Nope, drawing skills aren’t needed for animation! It’s a playground of styles and techniques: stop-motion, 3D, motion graphics, puppets. Animation is about bringing ideas to life, not perfect sketches. Whether you’re a simple doodler or stick-figure pro, join us!

  • No need to have attended any previous classes to jump into the programme, you can join anytime! However, we highly recommend attending as many workshops as you can to get the full experience, since each session builds on the last, following the animation pipeline step-by-step.

  • While we do host some special sessions for the little ones, our main workshops are crafted for teens and adults. Contrarily to popular belief, animation isn’t just for children, it’s a playground for imagination at any age.
