Service Description

Chuck out your cameras, in this class you are going to learn how to create your own selfie out of clay! Kids will start by learning how to draw a self portrait and will then transfer those skills to make a pot with their (or someone else's) face on it. Their pot will be constructed around a plastic cup so you can put an actual plant in it, or you could use it as a pencil cup if you'd prefer! In this class, children will learn a variety of clay hand building techniques such as coiling, making a pinch pot and slipping and scoring. There is also a focus on colour mixing as kids will have to use primary colours to mix together their colour palette. 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. 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. Looking forward to creating some beautiful art with you!
