During the term young people can expect to create from clay and ceramics including wheel work and clay modelling, hand building and sculpture. This is a mixed age and mixed ability class nurturing creativity in a sharing environment welcoming children up to A level age. During our sessions you can relax and create as a way to escape the routine of the week, but if you want you can expand on your GCSE or A level portfolio with us, you can work towards Duke of Edinburgh Awards, or work on the content for art scholarship applications. At Messums Creative we firmly believe that making is also a form of non-verbal language, and learning new skills allows us to bond with one another in new ways. So whether you are an aspiring sculptor or a product designer, if you want to learn to model clay or just get away from a digital environment, it doesn’t really matter. During your time here young creatives will learn new skills and make memories. Classes are intended just for children and we will always have two DBS checked tutors on site. *(Materials – will be charged upon completion of each project if committed to firing. Please ask your tutor for details.) Please Bring: Notebook, apron and an old towel. Please wear closed-toe shoes.
