Kids clay workshop

At our Deventer studio

Time to work with clay

For ages 8 to 12: pinch, roll and build a small clay creature or a useful little pot.

Room for small ideasChildren aged eight to twelve can explore clay without a wheel. We begin by pinching a ball into a pot, then show how coils, feet and handles can become a creature or a useful container. Each child chooses one small idea. We help with joins and hollow shapes so that the work has a better chance of surviving drying and firing.A clear, gentle sessionA maximum of six children with studio guidanceClay, child-friendly tools, aprons and coloured clay slipsOne small piece per child, with a clear glaze where suitable and two firingsPlease mention the child's age when you contact us. A responsible adult brings and collects the child and stays until we have agreed the handover. This session is designed for children to work independently with our guidance. If an adult needs to stay, discuss that with us first so we can allow space. Wear washable clothes and closed shoes.Taking the work homeWet clay cannot travel home after the session. We dry and fire each piece here and contact the responsible adult when it is ready for shop pick-up. Thin parts can break, and we explain that possibility gently during the class. Ask about suitable dates and any support your child may need before we confirm participation.
