Clay Time – Play with Clay Children’s Workshop
29th October @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am
£7.50In this workshop led by studio potter Amy Rutherford, children will have the opportunity to make their own creations straight from their imagination using air-dry clay.
This is an informal, child-led workshop. Children are encouraged to go where their creativity takes them, with support on hand if required. Clay is naturally tactile, so it enables children of any age to develop their dexterity and learn new skills. It’s lots of fun, too!
Children will each be given 500g of clay and be able to choose from a selection of items to enhance their creation, such as pipe cleaners, sequins, and beads. Material is provided to get the ideas flowing, and then it’s time to get squidging and sculpting those ideas to life!
Children will be able to take their creations away on the day, and once dry, they can be painted at home, providing an additional activity!
Please note:
- Grown-ups are asked to stay with their children. All clay and embellishments, as well as the use of equipment on the day, are included. Additional clay is available at a small cost.
- The workshops are relaxed and friendly with a maximum of 12 children per group Aprons will be provided but it’s advisable to wear clothes which are easily washed
- Amy holds an Enhanced DBS Certificate and will be on hand to provide encouragement and guidance.
- The workshop is held in an upstairs room at the Cathedral nave, which is accessible via a lift.
- Ticket queries should be directed via Amy Rutherford Ceramics’ website: www.amyrutherfordceramics.com/contact.
- Please be sure to read Amy Rutherford Ceramics’ admissions policy on Eventbrite before booking your ticket.
