Clay Play Day. Strength Heroes. Ages 6+
Kids love clay and we have discovered over the years that they want more. Your kids can join us in a messy exploration of different types of clay including air dry, natural “clay” and a special kitchen ingredient clay they will get to help make and colour (no, it’s not playdough). Kids will explore the unpredictable nature of clay and the many opportunities for beautiful oops and happy accidents. Kids will learn new clay techniques such as mark making, coiling and a mosaic picture.
They will take home at least three clay projects. This workshop will develop their fine motor, creativity and perseverance skills as they let their imagination go wild. This workshop is proving one of our most popular holiday workshops. Each child will release their inner messy monster and we will clean it all up so you don’t have to.
Unleash your child’s inner artist with clay! Explore different types of clay, from air-dry to kitchen-made. Learn new techniques, take home creations, and let imaginations soar. Messy fun guaranteed! No clean-up for you!
