1/2 Day School holiday Workshop - Clay (6+ years)
Tuesday 20th January; 12.00pm - 3.00 pm (ages 6+ years)
Details -
This ½ day school holiday workshop in clay allows students to experience and experiment with ceramic clay.
Through a teacher led demonstration, they will learn clay hand-building techniques such as pinch, coil or slab building, and how to add elements on to clay using the score and slip process.
Students will familiarise themselves with clay tools before planning their design, where they can choose to be guided by the experienced teacher or devise their own unique creation. Animals, 3d portraits, pots, houses, monsters…the options are endless!
They will learn how to translate their 2D design into a 3D object and once completed, the creations will remain at the studio in order to be transported and fired at the Cooroy Butter Factory. Artworks can be collected after approximately three weeks and can be either be sealed as is, or painted with acrylic paint at home.
Although light refreshments are provided, please ensure students bring a water bottle and have eaten before the workshop to assist in maximising creativity!
A maximum of 8 participants ensures individual support and fosters a sense of community within the group; a minimum of 3 participants is required for the workshop.
