About this event
Join artist Lucy Wheeler for this drop-in family workshop and make clay sculptures inspired by the unique wildlife of East Suffolk! Learn about the creatures, plants and animals roaming this landscape now and in the past.
Suitable for children aged 5+. All children must be accompanied by an adult throughout the workshop.
This drop-in session gives you the chance to get messy with clay, and learn about the biodiversity of East Suffolk, too. You’ll make a sculpture inspired by the flora and fauna of the past and present, and take it home to cherish.
No prior knowledge of ceramics or the local area is needed, beginners welcomed. Please wear clothes you don’t mind getting a bit messy.
