The workshops will be run by a member of the Aardman team of expert model makers. The fabulous team behind some of Aardman’s best-loved titles including: Wallace & Gromit, Chicken Run, Shaun the Sheep, Morph and Creature Comforts. They have loads of great anecdotes to share with you about the studio in these entertaining and engaging sessions. It’s also a great opportunity for participants to ask any questions about Aardman and their production processes.
