Workshop
Guardianes: Clay Creatures
Available Term 1 & 2 2027
Mon 1 Feb - Fri 2 Jul
Guardianes: Clay Creatures invites students to imagine, design and sculpt their own fantastical animal guardian. Inspired by the incredible animals, biodiversity and imaginative storytelling of Latin America, students combine animal features to create unique creatures from clay.
Through playful hands-on making, they learn basic hand-building techniques including pinching, coiling, slab building, joining and surface decoration. Each creature becomes a special treasure keeper, designed to hold seeds, beads, jewellery, a tooth for the tooth fairy, or something meaningful to its maker.
