About

Our Clay Animals Workshop is a free family workshop exploring clay techniques to create animal sculptures. You’ll be able to try rolling, squishing and scoring clay to make different shapes, patterns and textures for your animals. We’ll be inspired by our own stories of animals and their connection to us. Maybe you have a favourite animal, or you know of a story about a mythical animal? Perhaps you might want to create an imaginary animal?

The workshop is based at Modern Painters, New Decorators in Carillon Court Shopping Centre. Materials will be provided for the workshop, but please feel free to bring any images, objects or ideas for your clay animal sculptures with you.

Sessions will run:

11am-12pm
