Two Day Summer School 12–15s

• Monday 11th & Tuesday 12th August

• 10 AM – 2 PM each day

• Ages 12-15

This summer, teens aged 12–15 can level up their creativity with a two-day digital art and animation course at Yarn. Designed for budding artists, animators and tech lovers, this hands-on workshop is all about building skills, exploring ideas, and having fun—with no experience needed.

Day 1: Digital Art Mastery

• Learn to use Procreate on iPads with stylus pens

• Create your own original, hand-drawn character

• Explore digital techniques like layering, shading and brushwork

Day 2: Animation Takeover

• Animate your character using top animation apps

• Learn the building blocks of storytelling through movement

• Turn your artwork into a short animated scene

All equipment is provided, and the small-group format provides plenty of one-to-one guidance. Participants will leave with new creative confidence and digital skills they can keep building on, and they’ll be proud to share their work.
