Clay Chronicles: Hieroglyphics & Pictographs


Join us for a creative clay-making adventure where kids will explore the fascinating world of hieroglyphics, pictographs and line drawing!

In this hands-on class, young artists will learn to shape and mold their own clay creations, using ancient symbols and designs as inspiration.

Children will begin by discovering the history of hieroglyphics and pictographs and how these symbols tell stories. They'll then use their imaginations to carve and emboss unique images into their clay pieces, bringing their own narratives to life.

Allow 3 weeks for drying, bisque and glaze firing, then return to collect your work

Reuben enjoyed learning about the medium of clay and what he was able to create with it. The very capable tutors soon eased his worry of not being able to make anything or have any ideas on what to do. He made a dumpling bowl and plate and is very happy with the outcome of the class.

The thing I liked the most was to learn how to use the clay and what happens to it after getting dry and what happens next to make it look pretty. I also enjoyed being able to express the things I like through my clay designes and add them to my vase. My teacher was awesome and made the class very intresting and motivating.
