WORKSHOP: Combining Stop-Motion and Digital 2D Animation with Kaho Yoshida

In this 3 hour workshop, you'll learn the mixed media workflow Kaho Yoshida uses in her professional practice, and create your own piece combining claymation and 2D hand-drawn animation techniques.
This workshop is intended for artists age 16+. Some 2D animation experience is encouraged.
About the Instructor:
Kaho is a director and animator, with a special passion for stop motion and mixed media. Her fresh aesthetics and sense of humour bring life to every frame, and her love for storytelling makes her work relatable and approachable.
Raised in Tokyo, Kaho chose to move to a suburban town in Canada by herself at age 15. Struggling to adapt and failing to fit in, she found great joy in expressing herself through visual art, inspiring her to move to Vancouver to pursue an education in art. Kaho earned her degree in Animation from Emily Carr University, winning multiple awards with her grad film and launching her career as a director and animator. Now a seasoned commercial animation director, Kaho was a finalist for Young Guns 2023. Her latest short film, Tongue, has screened at over 20 festivals, including Annecy, and earned multiple awards.
When she isn’t animating or drawing, which is not very often, she can be found hanging out with friends, climbing rocks, and thinking of witty things to say to make her sound interesting on her bio.
