Make It: Christmas Clay Creations
Get curious and creative with Make it’s! These Saturday workshops offers kids and their grown-ups the chance to explore what is means to be a designer!
Design and make Christmas decorations from clay, inspired by the V&A's Christmas objects with Ceramic artist Charlie Brookes.
Get messy and have a go at hand building your very own Christmas decorations. You'll get to pick up new skills with clay through coiling and slab rolling. Then play with decoration, by scraping, scratching and piping wet clay designs using sgraffito and slip painting.
All curious kids are welcome to bring a grown up to get creative with. Come along to explore designing, creating and working together to make something new.
All materials will be provided, all sourced sustainably. All pieces will be fired and glazed in the museum, available for collection at a later date.
No previous experience is necessary, just come along and join in!
The 10:30 workshop is recommended for ages 5-7; 13:00 is recommended for ages 8-10 and 15:00 is recommended for 11-13. Each workshop is 90 minutes long.
Tickets are £25 minimum for one adult and child pair. Children must be always accompanied by an adult.
Please note that adults will be able to attend only if they've booked a child ticket too.
This is a families event for adults to take part in with their children; no child can be left unattended.
