We offer the following hands-on sessions where you can create a masterpiece out of clay! We are currently running sessions starting at around 11am, 2pm and 5pm with one household or bubble at a time. This gives us time to deep clean between sessions. We have installed screens on our making table for social distancing of regular students so space is a bit limited so we can accomodate a maximum of 6 makers at a time.
Contact us to book a Create with clay session and to arrange to pay £15 deposit for your session.
(We are investigating taking bookings on Facebook and Instagram – watch this space for developments.)
Make&Take session: Create with airdry clay
Cost: £15 for one participant, £25 for 2, £30 for 3, £35 for 4. (Enquire for 5 or more participants)
This includes basic tuition, use of tools and airdry clay. Creations can be taken away on the day or left in Dipsy Dragon for a day or so to dry off. When the clay is dry the pieces can be painted – acrylic paint is good for this.
