Program April

Stop-Motion Workshop

Sat. April 13: 2pm-6pm
Sun. April 14: 11am-6pm
with Franka Sachse
Location: ACC Gallery, Burgplatz 1

Unexpected constellations, bold superimpositions, exciting connections – all this is collage. But how do these new combinations of found materials come about and in which direction could they develop further? In this workshop, we will work on various collages and transfer individual still images into movement using the technique of layering.
