Make a Bowl (February 2023) - Clay Workshop 4 Kids

After running a couple of very popular clay workshops in spring, we offer another opportunity to make a bowl, cup, or vase from scratch to children (8 years+).

Tanja and Faline will help participants in this low-skill level workshop to gain a feel for the clay, create a simple pot and personalise it. Each piece is unique; children usually leave with a satisfied smile and a sense of pride. Children especially love the physical-sensual-mental experience of squeezing, pinching, and shaping a piece of wet clay into a beautiful and usable form. It is a delicate process that is grounding and calming as well as stimulating and inspiring – and not too long, either!

This session is creative, 100% hands-on and potentially a bit messy – please dress (yourself and your children) accordingly :) Clay stains may not wash out of some fabrics.

Limited to 12 participants 8 years and older. Younger children are welcome but must be attended by their adult at all times. $10 per participating child. Bookings are essential: https://www.riverside.org.nz/single-post/make-a-bowl-february-2023-clay-workshop-4-kids
