Create your own Coraline-Inspired doll with Denver-based stop-motion directors AJ Dubler &amp; Carmela Murphy. Get in the Halloween spirit and spend the day immersing yourself in stop-motion and building your own Coraline creation! We&rsquo;ll build every detail of the doll and learn skills that can be applied to stop-motion puppets.&nbsp; All supplies are included. If there are specific fabrics, buttons, yarn (for hair) you would like your doll to have we encourage you to bring your own! Snacks and N/A beverages will be provided. Please bring your own lunch for nourishment.&nbsp; Proceeds from this workshop support the production of the upcoming stop-motion animated film, God Is A Pelican. ARTIST BIO:&nbsp; <a fr-original-style="" href="https://www.ajdubler.com/" style="text-decoration-color: currentcolor; user-select: auto; box-sizing: inherit;" target="_blank">AJ Dubler</a> and <a fr-original-style="" href="https://www.carmelamurphy.com/" style="text-decoration-color: currentcolor; user-select: auto; box-sizing: inherit;" target="_blank">Carmela Murphy</a>.&nbsp; AJ and Carmela are a stop motion filmmaking duo who create handcrafted, darkly whimsical, and intimate stories that explore queer transformation. They met in a puppet animation class at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where they began their creative collaboration and directed their debut film, A Bird Hit My Window, and Now I&rsquo;m a Lesbian. This film has played at over 80 film festivals around the world, including Annecy International Animation Film Festival, and Frameline, where they won the Colin Higgins Youth Filmmaker Award. They are currently based out of Denver, Colorado, where they are producing their next stop motion short film, God is a Pelican. Crafting every tiny brick, floorboard, and teacup, AJ and Carmela weave human hands directly into the fabric of their films.
