School Holiday Program and Term Three

By Comments:

Term two is over for children’s classes and there is one more week left for adults classes – that sure went fast!
It was a great term with students being so patient with the delays of the kilns being connected after the studio renovations – which you can read about HERE. Thankyou students 🙂

The CLASSES page has been updated for term three, and the SCHOOL HOLIDAY PROGRAM page is updated for this coming holidays, and you can enrol easily via the SHOP.

This school holidays classes are all about Fathers Day which is on September 4th this year. Make dad, grandpa or an uncle a mug and key chain or a pencil holder and coin dish…. both classes are different, so the kids can join in both.

School Holiday Kids Class

School Holiday Kids Class – Pottery in Ballarat

It was a hot windy today  – 40+ in fact!

This mornings class started at 10am, before the heat of the day, so the studio was reasonably cool, and though a small group they were enthusiastic about creating fantasy creatures!

The brief was hand modelling a basic shape, then adding detail and painting with coloured slips – I will then dip in a clear glaze to make the finished works shiny. And I must say the children’s creations look fantastic!

There is anther school holiday next Wednesday 20th January – details are available on the School Holiday Workshops Page 🙂

Last weeks kids school holiday class was a small but fantastic group – we had lots of fun with heaps of creativity happening.

Creativity is great for kids – it consolidates problem solving and literacy and mathematical skills while also developing social and free thinking skills.

So, don’t miss out on the fabulous benefits of working with clay.

Classes for adults begin this week and kids classes start next week – so be sure to enrol for a fun filled term of making.
