Easter Holidays 2-day Workshop

MONDAY 7th & TUESDAY 8th APRIL
9:30AM – 3PM

Fran and Faye invite young artists (ages 5-11) to create a jug and a cup. Over two days, children will design and craft their own unique jug and two cups, drawing inspiration from spring time. With guidance and plenty of fun, this workshop encourages artistic expression while building confidence in working with clay.
