Morph model-making for families with Aardman
What you'll do
Make your own Morph and watch original footage of the character in action in this fun experience for the whole family.
With the help of your host and Aardman’s lead model-maker, Jim Parkyn, you’ll get to make one of the Bristol studio’s most loved, classic characters. This is a fun, hands-on workshop where everyone can be inspired by animation and get creative with clay. You’ll be hosted at the SS Great Britain in a large, Covid safe space.
As a Yuup extra you'll also get a free 1-day pass to explore Bristol's historic SS Great Britain.
Based on your feedback, every guest will be given a box to take their model Morph home in and this experience will now be two hours long.
