To commemorate the scuttling of the German High Seas Fleet in 1919, West Side Cinema and Stromness Museum are running a series of free workshops during Shopping Week with London based animator Lizzy Hobbs.

Animating Scapa 100 will create playful, collaborative, cut-out animation focussing on the more extraordinary parts of the scuttling.

OPEN TO ALL AGES (under 12’s must be accompanied by an adult)

Join in for all four workshops or just one or two.
