Twelve Announcements Before Christmas (and 11 before Chanukah)

[Heidi Tandy]

In the days leading up to the winter holidays, Team Azkatraz has
twelve announcements to make.  Some announcements will be about new
things you can sign up for at Azkatraz, others will be about ways to
give Azkatraz-ian gifts, or volunteer, or get to San Francisco - and
there's more!

We'll be crossposting to the following pages/sites:

This is the only post we'll be making this month elsewhere.

Today's announcement?

A Claymation Workshop on Monday, July 20, 2009 at ZEUM.

Fictionalley and ZEUM are partnering with AZKATRAZ for Creativity is
Magic Day at ZEUM, and one of the activities you can sign up for is
the Claymation Workshop.

Learn the basics of stop-motion animation in this project-based
workshop. Groups of 4-5 will each design their own clay characters and
produce a short animated film using multimedia tools. Groups will be
set up ahead of time and can use the HPEF Forums in late June and July
to work together and develop a story concept. On Monday, July 20,
2008, each group will spend nearly two hours sculpting clay characters
and filming a stop motion animation movie.  Each participant will
leave AZKATRAZ with a clay figure or two and a claymation movie on DVD
or flash drive.

We're going to have two sessions of 30 people each - one for
registrants 16 years and up, from 9 til 11 in the morning, and one
from 1:30 until 3:30 in the afternoon for kids ages 8 to 16.

You can sign up when you register, or by modifying your registration
