Explore your creativity

We refer to the animation style that we use as Brickflicks and it is Storytelling using a combination of Stop Motion Animation, Lego and some simple mixed materials.

Using a combination of readily available digital mobile technology, hand made sets and LEGO mini figures we encourage children to create stop motion movies. They will learn how to design their own sets, script, storyboard, film, edit and produce their own BrickFlicks masterpiece. 

In a BrickFlicks workshop You Create the Story - and make your Lego character come alive!

Our tutors are passionate about animation and education and have a wealth of skills and experience to share with participants.they will share technical tips and practical techniques to assist the budding movie makers develop and improve their own projects.  They are Garda Vetted and comply with relevant Child Protection Policies ( A copy of our own Policy is available on request)

Our workshops incorporate STEAM education skills that give the class a hands on approach to working within the areas of Science, Technology, Engineering,Arts and Maths.
