Building for display isn’t quite the same as building for cinema… A brick filming primer, this workshop offers a look at the more animated side of the LEGO hobby. Come see a variety of innovative films; learn techniques for set up, construction, and animation with LEGO; and take part in a hands-on demonstration where you can try your hand at bringing minifigs to life.
(no limitations or requirements)

Collaborations are fun. But, sometimes building something for a collaboration can take lots of brick. Or, maybe you just don’t have room to pack another large creation. At Brickworld, microscale is the answer for you. Every year we create the city of Micropolis. Join Roy and Alice for this workshop and learn about parts and techniques that really give detail to your creations at the microscale level.

Have you ever wondered how the some of the best LEGO mosaics are designed? Have you wanted to build one yourself? In this workshop you will learn everything you need to know to design your own mosaic. We will talk about various techniques in design, including computer aided design — where one method is better than another, etc. You will even get a chance to build your own full color mosaic to show at Brickworld and take home at the end of the event!
Please only register *one* person per \"team.\" All ages are welcome, but children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. The mosaics built in the workshop will stay on display for the entire public exhibition. If you are unable to stay for the entire duration of the event, your mosaic will be mailed to you after the event.
(pre-registration required to build + $30 per team for material cost)
