This literature-based workshop will inspire students to make their own clay characters! Students will change their expression and act out stories with these figures. Ellie will read books about claymation and create artworks based on technique.

Guardians and parents are welcome to join their student to complete an artwork or choose to have registered participants work independently.

Bring the family for children’s workshops featuring themes from Tinworks 2025 season exhibition A Kin to Clay. These events are free of charge. Please check for times, age recommendations, and to register in advance when required. All workshops will take place in the Family & Community Space.

Ellie Newell is Head of Youth Services at Bozeman Public Library. She is a champion of books and is passionate about art.
