Celebrate the festive season with our Air Dry Clay Decorations, fun, hands-on creative workshop with local clay artist Lizzie

Get ready to celebrate the festive season with our Air Dry Clay Decorations, fun and hands-on creative workshop with local clay artist Lizzie Croucher.

In this relaxed and creative workshop, you’ll learn simple methods to shape, smooth, and decorate your clay designs!

Each child will be able to work on several designs from stars and trees to completely unique creations inspired by your imagination.

Once finished, you can take your decorations home ready to dry and paint, making beautiful keepsakes to treasure or gift this holiday season.

All materials will be provided. Suitable for children 3+. Tickets must be purchased for each child.

Children must be accompanied by a parent/guardian, but tickets are not required for the accompanying adults.

Adults and guardians who would like to make their own mini-clay decoration are also welcome to purchase a ticket and join in the activities!

Food and drink is also available for purchase throughout the session from our cafes.
