😊 Story Faces Clay Workshop

Who is your character? What story do they have to tell?

In this creative clay workshop, young artists will sculpt expressive faces full of personality, imagination and emotion. Inspired by people they know, memories, feelings or entirely fictional characters, participants will use air-dry clay to create a unique face and bust sculpture.

Along the way, they'll learn simple hand-building techniques while exploring how facial features, expressions and details can help tell a story. Is your character brave, mysterious, joyful, curious or something else entirely? Through clay, participants will bring their ideas to life and discover how artists use sculpture to communicate character and meaning.

This workshop encourages creativity, observation, storytelling and self-expression in a fun and supportive environment.

All materials supplied.
No previous clay experience required.

Who is this for?
Children aged 9-12 who enjoy storytelling, acting, or creative play-no prior experience needed.

What to bring:
Comfortable clothes for messy crafts and a willingness to have fun.

Spaces are limited - bookings essential.
