Please note: this event will be held in person at Glasgow Zine Library.

Part of our Community Led Programme: events run by and for members of our community.

The DIY Animation Club is a space to gather together and play with images, movement, and sound. No experience is necessary to join–each of us is learning through experimentation! We share ideas, tips, and skills. We might be working on our own fragments of bigger projects, or spontaneous scrappy snippets together!

Any approach is welcome, be it hand-drawing, collage, stop-motion, digital images, or something else. You can show up with or without an idea. We often don’t know what we’ll work on until we get there and start to experiment! Most of us use the app Stop Motion Studio and its camera app on our phones and on the Zine Library's iPads (you can download a free trial on your phone/tablet, we also have tools to share).

The DIY Animation Club sprang from the Secrets of DIY Animation courses which ran at the Zine Library in 2022, 2023, and 2026.
