Spring Clay Day Wednesday 9 October 2024 9am to 4pm

Spring into Creativity with Our Holiday Clay Day for children 6 years and over!

Spring is the perfect season to let creativity bloom. Join us for an exciting, hands-on day of making and creating with clay!

What to Expect:

In these engaging School Holiday Clay Classes, children will explore the endless possibilities of working with clay. Guided by skilled potters, they’ll create both fun sculptural pieces and functional items, unlocking their artistic potential. Each session is tailored to the unique interests of the children, ensuring every class offers a fresh and inspiring experience.

Unleash the Imagination:

From whimsical creatures to imaginative structures, whatever your child dreams up, our experienced team will help bring it to life. With a blend of enthusiasm and expert guidance, there’s no limit to what they can create with clay.

What We Offer:

Our tutors will teach hand-building techniques and introduce students to the potter's wheel for those eager to try. Parents are welcome to enrol and join their child, making this a fun family activity. We’ll take care of glazing and firing up to five of your child’s favourite creations, which will be ready to collect 5-6 weeks after the class.

Who's Welcome:

No prior experience is required! Our classes are designed for school-aged children 6 years and older. Whether it’s their first time or they’re already passionate about pottery, all are welcome to dive into this creative adventure.

All tuition, clay, glazing, and the firing of 4 unique creations are included.

Let’s get those creative juices flowing this spring!
