Silly Sculpture introduces KS2 children to the exciting world of ceramics and three-dimensional making.

Children will learn how to transform a simple pinch pot into their own imaginative sculpture — from funny fish and crazy creatures to characters, animals and mythical beasts.

Along the way, they’ll develop practical ceramics skills including:
Hand-building & forming
Scoring & slipping
Joining and attaching pieces
Creating texture and surface detail
Developing form and structure
Painting and decorating

Children will learn how to think about shape, form, balance, texture and structure, while solving practical problems as they build their sculptures.

Once their pieces have dried, they’ll have the opportunity to return and paint their finished creations.

This is a hands-on club that encourages creative problem-solving, fine motor skills, experimentation and independent thinking — all while getting wonderfully messy with clay!
