Indie Studio is a creative hangout for independent learners ages 7-17! Whether you home school, unschool, do online school, are in an alternative schooling program, or go to a traditional school but still identify as a self-directed learner, this hangout is for you. Bring something you’re working on, an idea of something you want to start or learn, or just show up and we’ll have materials and project suggestions for you!
For this hangout we welcome parents and caregivers to hang out in the studio (in our VIP “Very Important Parent” zone) if your kiddo will feel more comfortable with you here. We just ask that adult guests remain conscious of the space being youth centered!

Curious to know more about why over a THOUSAND artists and craftspeople (including 49 animators) worked for SIXTEEN years to make this film?! What is so magical about this tactile, hands-on medium?! This is an all levels day camp, so youth with experience will be welcome to jump right into animating, and youth who are new to the process will have lots of opportunities to learn and experiment! We’ll begin with some object animation, move into paper cut animation, then end the day with claymation!

FRIDAY: In GAME LAB we’ll be creating our own board and card games, game jam style! What’s a game jam, you ask? A game jam is a timed event where game makers (artists, designers, writers, storytellers, developers, even musicians) try to create a playable game from scratch. We’ll go over all the basics of game design, and talk about different types of card and board games. Youth are welcome to come with an existing game idea, or completely fresh! They can work individually, or collaborate with other artists to create something fun!
