Long before animation and motion pictures, we had optical toys! In this workshop, we will create a collection of paper optical toys developed in the early 19th century, like the zoetrope and phenakistoscope. These devices spin around a set sequence of images to create the illusion of movement. Templates to create model structures will be provided, along with tips for creating your own content that bridges books, toys, and animation.
Tools required (gather yourself): X-Acto knife or scalpel and extra blades, bone folder, metal ruler (at least 12”), small triangle 3-4”, cutting mat, scissors, PVA glue, glue brush, waste paper, pencil. If you have one, a hot glue gun.
Registration: $130, includes a $35 materials kit mailed to you via US flat-rate shipping (US-only please; contact us if you’re internationally-based and wish to source your own supplies). Please note the registration deadline will be 2 weeks prior to class starting to allow time for kits to arrive.
