Animation Workshop – Melbourne (CODE – 33Ffa)
A Zoetrope was one of the earliest animation devices developed in the 1830s. It played an important role in the development of the moving image, and is the ancestor of today’s multibillion dollar film and animation industry.
Zoetropes were developed originally as small tabletop objects that were classed as children’s optical toys.

Make-N-Take workshops, is an activity whereby Zoetropes are made (within minutes) and are fun for hours. Available in 3 different patterns, the workshop can accommodates up to 25 persons at once and can continue non-stop for the duration of the booking.
To make the Zoetrope work, you simply spin the barrel, look through the windows and see the cartoon frames jump to life.
