Beale Workshops

I run creative workshops

Hi, I'm Beale Gurney (she/her). I'm an designer and animator, and I love making stuff with everything from pixels to plasticine to paper.

I'm lucky enough to share the designing/making process with kids and grown-ups through a range of workshops in Tassie where I live. I've also started offering online workshops with proper interaction, to facilitate connection and creativity when and where travel and/or gathering in groups isn't possible.

Participants have been asking me how to get in touch about new workshops, so I've made this quick site as a place for people to sign up to get notified about my upcoming workshops. It's also a way to request a new workshop that you might want me to run.

Parent feedback

You did such a great job and my kids are totally obsessed, keep finding cute little animations on the photo drive, thanks so much.

The workshop was such a great event - thanks so much for delivering it and giving us such a special opportunity.

Your workshop has been absolutely fantastic! You've got our whole family inspired to play with animations... I thought you had organised the activity very beautifully, with the progression through tasks, and the mix of media worked so well, and most of all of course, the children have learned more about how to tell a story.

Kid feedback

I really really really really enjoyed myself

I loved it. It was so much fun and I’m so pleased that I know how to make animations now. Thank you.

I like making things out of clay, and loved the way we could make a story about whatever we wanted.
