8 Easy Steps to Make a Morph

Morph is a character made out of clay that stars in many animations. We went to a workshop and learnt how to make one. The teacher was Jim Parkyn who makes the clay characters in Shaun the Sheep, Wallace & Gromit and Flushed Away plus lots of others.

I am going to teach you how to make a Morph in 8 easy steps.

You will need:
150g of orangey-browny clay (or white if you want to make Chas. Chas is a little bigger so you might need a little more)
small pieces of black and white clay for the eyes

Steps:
1. Roll the clay into a ball. Rub it in your hands to warm it up.




















2. Shape it into a starfish.




















3. Round one of the arms into a head.
4. Mould arms and legs.

5. Shape hands and feet.

6. Add eyes and a nose.














7. Smooth it out.

There you have it - you have made a Morph. Now you can get the Animate It! App and make your own animations.
