This engaging workshop invites children to bring their favourite toy or a photo of it and create a unique clay portrait. Kids will explore the fundamentals of anatomy, expression, and character through drawing and sculpting, learning how to capture personality in their artwork.
Throughout the day, children will enjoy hands-on activities that encourage creativity and fine motor skills, culminating in a fired clay piece they can proudly take home weeks later.
It's a perfect opportunity for young artists to develop their artistic talents in a fun, supportive environment.
The workshop runs from 10:00 to 16:00 on Wednesday, 30 September 2026. It is designed for children aged 5 to 10 years old.
