Workshop
Fantasy Mushroom Garden
With Sarah Cowie
Tue 7 Jul 2026 10:00AM - 2:30PM
Craft a whimsical magical creature to live in a mystical mushroom garden using polymer clay in this school holiday workshop with artist Sarah Cowie!
We’ll start with a foil base to give stability to the mushroom and magical creature, then add details with a layer of Sculpey clay. Once baked, we’ll paint the clay sculptures, adding characteristics inspired by fairies, goblins, gnomes, or any other fantasy creature! To finish we'll craft the garden using cardboard and mixed media and attach the mushroom for your creature to sit under!
