Clay Club
Thursday Afternoons 4.15pm - 5.15pm
6 week course beginning 7th November 2024 / £90
Working with your hands allows you to connect with the physical world in a way that is often lost in the digital age.
Join us here at Wildling Studio as we get creative together in our after-school club. These sessions are designed exclusively for mini wildlings, teaching traditional hand skills and encouraging a connection to nature.
During the 6 week course Wildling Studio owner and potter Sarah Glazier-Hart will gently guide you step by step through traditional hand-building techniques. You will learn pinching, coiling, slab-building and as well as decoration techniques and glaze application.
Our makes will be themed to the seasons and you’ll have a chance to play and get creative with your pieces.
Please note: We will be using stoneware clay and decorating with coloured slips. Pieces will need to be left at the studio for glazing and firing and will be ready for collection approximately 2-3
Suitable for children aged 4+ Parents can stay or choose to drop off and collect their Mini Wildlings at 5.15pm (Sarah is DBS checked)
There will be one Community Space Available. This free space is offered to support the local community, please click here for more information.
