Friday 11 October
Calder's Clay Mobiles
Service Description
In this class, kids will be introduced to the American Sculptor Alexander Calder and his amazing mobiles. Using this as our inspiration, we will create our own hanging mobiles out of driftwood and clay! Kids will have as much freedom to be creative as possible. They will be able to choose a theme like space, flowers or whatever takes their fancy, and create items out of clay to hang from their mobile according to their theme. We will cover clay techniques such as rolling, stamping, adding texture and joining clay together using 'Magic Water'. At the end, your young artists will come home with a beautiful mobile sculpture ready for you to hang in your home! This class is suitable for children from year 1 - 8. If you have a slightly older child who would like to attend then this is totally fine. The art will still be appropriate for them, they just need to be aware that they will be spending the day with children younger than them. If your child is 5 or 6, please ensure that they are capable of focusing on a single project for a whole day. This session will run from 9 - 3 on the 11th of October. You are welcome to drop your children off after 8:45. Please do not drop them off earlier than this. You will need to bring a hat, old clothes that can get dirty, drink bottle, morning tea and lunch.
