The Kids' Clay Workshop
Welcome to The Kids' Clay Workshop!
The Kids' Clay Workshop was created as a concept for kids to get their hands dirty, and to do something different as well as learning about clay. To squish it and bash it, roll it, flatten it, decorate it and join it to make something new and exciting they can take home and keep. Clay is one of Earth's more abundant materials and it's a brilliant and fun way to get back to basics while also being creative and making things in 3D form, which you just don't get from drawing or painting alone.
Public Classes & Workshops
Our Classes
Workshops are designed around a different project each week, and we make everything from scratch, starting from a lump (or several lumps) of clay. Usually we paint the objects in class.
Make, paint & take away
Workshops are designed around a project which we all make together, starting from a lump (or several lumps) of clay. Usually we paint the objects in class, using simple poster paints, and can be taken home and then varnished once they are dry. We use a special hardening clay making the objects fairly sturdy! However they are not for domestic use as they are not fired (i.e. will not hold water).
Make & Bake Workshops
These are very similar in that we all make a project together, but at the end we paint using glaze colours. The work is then kept and taken back to the studio for drying, firing and glazing. These workshops are sometimes a bit longer and are more expensive but of course the work can be kept forever. Work need to be collected (or can sometimes be delivered).
