In this full-day kids' pottery workshop, your child/ren will get to make their own pottery pieces using a variety of techniques, including:
Pinch Pot Creature - using the pinch pot method and adding features to create an animal or any creature in their imagination.
Make-A-Mug - use the slab building techique to build a mug and decorate it in any style.
Wheel Adventures - have a fun, messy time spinning clay on the pottery wheel.
Pencil Pot - learn to work with coils to build up a creative pencil cup.
We will have four experienced potters facilitating the activities and guiding your child/ren through the creative process. The emphasis will be on fun and creativity!
Included costs:
The price includes eveything needed to make, fire and glaze one finished piece per child per activity, so 4 pieces in total.
Please bring:
Please provide morning and afternoon tea, and lunch for your child. We will provide breaks between activities for your child to eat and drink. Your child/ren may want to wear clothes they don't mind getting dirty, as potting is a lot of fun and a little messy!
Drop off and Pick up:
You can drop off your child/ren between 8.45 and 9am. Activities will start at 9am sharp.
You can pick up your child from 3pm-3.15pm. Parents are welcome to stay with their child/ren for the day too.
Collection of finished pieces:
It will take 3 weeks for us to bisque fire the pieces, glaze them with a durable shiny finish, and then high-fire them again to seal them. All creations can be collected after 3 weeks time, within the hours of 9.30am - 4pm Monday to Friday, and 10am - 1pm Saturdays.
$82 per participant.
