Let your child get super creative in our Mini Clay Makers afterschool clay class. Led by our friendly and experienced tutor, Olive, children explore the joy of working with clay while learning essential hand-building techniques. They practise coiling, slab building, sculpting and pinch methods. These simple, hands-on techniques help them design and create colourful, functional ceramic pieces they’ll feel proud to take home.
Each session focuses on making, experimenting, and expressing ideas. Every week, children sculpt imaginative pieces and then add vibrant underglaze colours to bring their work to life. It’s a lively mix of art, craft, and fun.
We supply all materials and equipment, including clay, glazes, pottery tools, and kiln firing. Your child just needs to arrive ready to create and get a little messy. Please send them in old clothes (no school uniforms), as clay can stain.
Throughout the course, children experience the full pottery process. They shape, refine, and decorate their pieces, then wait for the exciting moment when their creations come out of the kiln, ready to take home. While our tutors handle each piece with great care, clay is a natural and sometimes unpredictable material. That unpredictability is part of what makes pottery so magical.
Olive keeps children engaged and focused, encouraging them to create pieces they can truly be proud of. Most projects take two sessions to complete, allowing time for thoughtful making and careful finishing.
