We provide everything you need, it's a chance to meet our education team, see what it's all about and make sure it's the right fit for your tamariki before committing to the full term.

‍WEDNESDAYS - Clay Skills: Sgraffito (Intermediate, 5-13)

• ‍Click here to book

‍

Ever wanted to carve your own stories into clay? This term, we're going beyond the basics! In this 1.5-hour weekly workshop, young potters will master the sgraffito technique. The projects will bedifferent to the sgraffito projects completed last term. Once the clay is "leather-hard," we'll use professional carving tools to scratch away patterns, revealing positive and negative space to create stunning high-contrast art. As this this term is developing higher skills with sgraffito, we ask that participants have attended a clay session before and have a basic understanding of clay building techniques.

Each week offers opportunities to combine media such as drawing, painting, collage, print-making, textiles, and more in playful and creative ways.
