First Cut! Youth Film Festival
FLIPFEST 2023
This year with First Cut I did a series of animation workshops. Workshops were delivered to five different schools where participants learnt about the history of stop motion while creating their own hand drawn flip books and optical toys. The participating schools were St John the Baptist School, Midleton Educate Together School, St Colmans, CBS Secondary School and Midleton College.

This project is researching the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the everyday lives, education and relationships of primary school children aged 9-11 (UK school years 5 to 6). I ve been busy making fun animated shorts that explain the 6 creative activities. Getting help and inspiration from my team of young artists. Also creating 6 worksheets to go with each activity.

I Loved getting creative at Midleton Arts Festival 22 with Climate Aware Midleton.
Lots of passers by stopped to draw, paint and explore the possibilities of mark making with pigment from natural materials.
Thanks to Cork County Council Library & Arts Service for the continued support.
