Create in Clay: Faces & Masks for Kids with Ursula Waechter
8 April 2017
Time: 10am to 12pm
This workshop is a great opportunity for your child to be taught by professional ceramicist Ursula Waechter.
Looking at images of masks and faces for inspiration, your child will plan the design of their mask, with step-by-step instructions and handy tips.
Using red clay and pottery tools, they will find out how to make the features of the face, using just their hands.
The masks will then be fired for you and ready for collection, from City Arts, three weeks after the workshop.
Cost: £15 (all tools & materials included)
Age: Teens & Kids 8+ (unsupervised)

Ceramic Wall Hanging with Clare Mahoney
27 May 2017
Time: 10am to 2pm
Clare Mahoney is a Ceramic Artist, working with surface – breaking up 2D space, abstracting natural forms and fauna, to produce images that strive to capture a twisted tendril or fragile leaf…
The pieces you will be making are wall-mounted ceramic sculptures. The techniques of printmaking are used to illustrate the designs, creating a feeling of layers and elements collaged together.
Clare says: “I love the medium of clay, its impressionability and earthy quality, opening a fresh bag of porcelain never ceases to excite me. “
The Workshop Process:
~ Part of the workshop is a walk, where we collect materials
~ You will make a clay mould of plants, flowers and fauna.
~ You will use the process of ‘press mould porcelain’
We make a plaster and Cornish stone cast of the clay mould. The cast dries quickly and can be taken home that day.
Age: Adults
Cost: £25 (all materials included)
