About Me

Software engineer for a living, Stop motion puppet maker by passion!


Hey there! my name is Italia Bedolla, I’m a self-taught plastic artist and crafter more focused on creating stop motion puppets & props, passionate about stop motion, arts and crafts.

 

For the last 5 years I have been working so far in personal projects with the objective of learning more about the different areas of stop motion such as photography, animation, character design, puppet and prop making.

 

I look forward to be able to participate and collaborate with other passionate people to bring to life stop motion projects and spread wonderful stories to the world.
