Please contact your local library or donate to a little free library near you or anywhere where loved used books are welcomed.

Instructor Bio

Djamila Jean-Charles graduated from Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD), with a B.F.A. in Animation, concentrating in Stop Motion Animation. Her focus in general is fabrication, bringing things to life with her hands whether that be a character, a set or even a sculpture. Call it Dr. Frankenstein if you will! In the past, she’s done animation workshops with Saguaro National Park, The Mini Time Machine Museum and is the current Education Director for the museum. She hopes to incorporate a little bit of sculpture and model making and of course elements of animation into her teaching. She is super excited to weave in STEAM projects with the art of miniature making and create with amazing students, in addition to working with a phenomenal crew!

Djamila taught Summer Camp at the museum in 2022.
