Dive into a fun and creative workshop where children aged 10 and over can explore the art of making their own clay jewellery. This hands-on session encourages experimentation with shape, texture, and color to craft unique pieces. It's a perfect opportunity for young artists to express themselves and develop new skills in a supportive environment.
The workshop is facilitated by Marietta Zafirakos, a Sydney-based creative producer with a passion for engaging children and families in art-making. Marietta brings her expertise from Sydney College of the Arts and extensive experience in creative workshops to ensure an inspiring and enjoyable experience.
Children under 9 years must be accompanied by a parent or carer who remains on-site, making this a family-friendly event that welcomes participation and supervision.

The session runs for 1.5 hours, providing ample time for creativity and hands-on learning. This workshop is ideal for school-aged children looking for a creative outlet during the school holidays.
