What to Expect
Give your young makers the freedom to explore their creativity with clay in this engaging morning workshop led by artist Machiko Motoi. Children aged 6 to 11 will be introduced to both handbuilding and wheel throwing techniques in a relaxed, supportive environment. This workshop encourages imagination and experimentation rather than focusing on a fixed outcome.
Machiko guides students through techniques such as cross hatching to help build and join their clay creations, fostering independence and artistic discovery. It's perfect for children who love to experiment and develop their own ideas.
