Young V&A’s Animation Lab is a special workshop designed for families with budding animators aged 7–14 years old. Participants will develop creative skills through a range of animation activities including making sound effects and working with stop motion software. 

Each 90-minute event will include a chance to: 

  • Work with a real professional animator — learn the tricks of the trade straight from the pros
  • Get hands-on at our Foley & Sound Design Station — use props and found objects to create the soundscapes for celebrated animation scenes
  • Get your hands dirty in a clay modelling workshop — and take your creation home
