Mentoring & Masterclasses

For over 20 years, I’ve been invited to speak and teach at universities, studios and festivals around the world — sharing insights from my work on well-known stop motion films and projects
These experiences have fuelled my passion to appreciate this craft & the joy of passing techniques on to the next generation. It’s shaped the way I communicate, evolving to make even brief sessions lead to noticeable progress

Mentoring Weeks

Inbetween animation productions, I run hands-on stop motion mentoring weeks in London, drawing on over a decade of global teaching experience.
These week-long intensives attract animators from around the world and focus on building your muscle memory & more easily create natural human movement from a puppet

International Masterclasses

By invitation, I travel internationally to deliver stop motion masterclasses and workshops at universities, animation studios, and film festivals.
These sessions offer an in-depth study through my animation portfolio drawn from 25+ years in the industry

Collaboration & Short Films

I'm always open to collaborating on meaningful short films, independent animations, or creative experiments that push the boundaries of stop motion.
