Explore the history, science and creative possibilities of animation as you create three optical toys: a thaumatrope, a zoetrope strip and a flip-book.

Registration required. Space is limited.

This workshop is in partnership with artist Leila Cabib and funded in part by an Arts an Education Grant from the Maryland State Arts Council.
