Join Carolyn & Jackie at Zapato - Using air dry clay, we're going to sculpt a beautiful Buddha, taking inspiration from Niki De Saint Phalle's huge sculpture (you may have seen it at YSP)
We'll use some clay tools and natures tools - our hands!
each person will receive a lump of clay roughly the size of a fist, and we will show you how to manipulate the clay, to make a sitting figure :)
after you've finished with the shape, we will add textures by pushing small objects into the surface - beads, buttons, waxy leaves etc.
you can take them home as they don't need to be fired in a kiln, and once fully dry, you could even add colour to them if you want!
we'll be selling a few bits and bobs if you don't have watercolour paints at home (that's how we usually colour ours, but nail varnish works, sharpies or poster paints)
please buy 1 ticket per person over the age of 5, this is a family activity, everyone joins in!
