FANS of characters like Wallace & Gromit will get a chance to learn the basics of how their films are made at a Wirral library next week.

A Claymation class will be held at Greasby Library on Monday, August 5, between 9.30am and 4.30pm for young people aged 7 to 14. 

Cllr Chris Meaden, cabinet member for health and wellbeing said: "Claymation is responsible for British treasures like Wallace and Gromit, so this course is a great first step for young animators who want to get a taste of the process of creating their own animated films."

The session is run by Create Multimedia, who provide all the necessary equipment as well as a DVD of your finished animation to take home.
