Drop in throughout the holidays for a family-friendly daily design challenge, inspired by Aardman animation studio

Our team of designers will be on hand to help you design a unique, wonderful woolly jumper design for Shaun the Sheep this spring! You’ll find lots of inspiration throughout the museum, from the Fair Isle sweater in the Scottish Design Galleries to our collection of books, bursting with pattern-tastic prints and collages.

On the big screen check out highlights from the Animate with Aardman video edutainment series and dive into the exciting world of stop-motion film, exploring Ideas & Story, Characters & Props, Storyboarding, Lights & Camera, Animation, Sound & Foley. A range of playful activities, from storyboarding to character design, will be available to test out together.
