School Holiday Workshop I "Clay Critters"

Sculpt a small creature shaped from imagination

Get your hands messy and your imagination moving in this fun clay workshop for young makers. Children will use air-dry clay to shape their own small animal sculpture, from real-life creatures to completely invented ones. We’ll explore how to pinch, roll and join clay to bring animals to life, thinking about texture, personality and expression along the way. Once the sculptures are complete, children will paint their creations using watercolours, adding colour, pattern and character. Each child will take home a unique clay creature they’ve designed and painted themselves!
