2 fun-filled workshops of creative, confidence-building imagination & gift-making!

DATES: Saturday, December 6th and/or Saturday, December 13th
TIME: Each workshop runs 1pm-4pm
Workshop 1: Animated Christmas Cards (Dec 13th):
In this fun & creative workshop, students (ages 8–16) will design and animate their own hand-drawn Christmas flipbook to be customized and given as a Christmas card to someone special. With the support and guidance of professional artists, your child will jump right into planning, drawing and flipping their idea into motion—whether that’s a dancing elf, a bumbling Santa or a snowman demonstrating magical flair, all with a special holiday message for the video card recipient(s).
After the workshop, we’ll professionally film each flipbook, edit it into a polished animated Christmas card and email the video card to the recipient(s) of your child’s choice, just in time for the holidays.
A unique keepsake, a meaningful gift and a fun seasonal experience rolled into one!
Workshop 2: Cartoony Ornaments (Dec 20th):
This creative workshop is all about making imaginative festive decorations with personality, whether to be gifts or to decorate your home (or both!). Guided by professional artists, students will plan and then create their choice of 2 of our 4 options:
•A Doodle-Decorated Christmas Tree Centre Piece
•Candy-Holder Christmas Tree Ball Characters (might be tricky for younger students)
•Design Your Own Christmas Tree Ornament (flat and easier for younger students)
•Dancing Jingle Elf Cutout Puppet
Students leave with finished ornaments they designed themselves that are fun, original and ready to either display or give as a special gift.
A perfect workshop for kids who love drawing, creating and making something truly their own for the holidays!
Includes Christmas treats & all materials!

“OMG where to begin. Brad is my favorite instructor, period. And I’m not even his student anymore! I cannot stress how much of a blessing it was to have crossed paths with him. He’s taught me so many masterfully genius artistic concepts that I continue to use to this very day. He’s taught me to be professional without forgetting to be silly, the two can coexist and SHOULD coexist. He’s a great role model, full of humility, care and understanding.”
Some Student Feedback
“Brad is a phenomenal teacher. Everything is possible with Brad and nothing is off limits! Whatever your learning style, Brad will adapt and strive for improvements for all involved! He is well spoken and and happy to explain things in detail should you not understand something. Things are step by step with him and you won’t feel left behind. I learned so much from Brad in a short timeframe, not just about Animation but about how I learn. Thanks Brad!””
“Brad is an excellent instructor who really cares about his students. He is very kind and supportive, as well as a joy to be around! Even on a busy schedule he makes time to help out and hear out anyone who needs him. I would highly recommend learning from him, it will definitely be a quality education!”
