Children’s Pottery Class Term 4 2024 Monday 4pm – 14 October – Workshop One

Ignite Your Child’s Creativity This Term!

Join us at Canberra Potters for an exciting Term 4, where children can dive into the world of clay and let their imaginations soar. Guided by experienced teachers, they’ll learn the essentials of hand building and wheel throwing, bringing their unique ideas to life.

Our program fosters learning through both collaborative and self-directed projects, encouraging children to form friendships rooted in a shared passion for creativity. With access to both hand-building and wheel-throwing techniques, each child can explore their interests at their own pace.

The term’s activities will be shaped by the children’s interests and skill levels, with input from both students and the teacher. We encourage participants to bring along an art journal or notebook to capture their ideas and inspirations, and to collect images that reflect their creative goals for the term.

All materials, including clay, glaze, and firing, are provided. Each child can have up to 10 pieces fired during the term as part of the course.

Parents are welcome to enrol alongside their child and enjoy the creative journey together.
