‘Clay Clumps’ Creative Art Workshop

Come and create your own clay sculpture inspired by the famous Wittenham Clumps. Artist in residence Nicola will guide you through the process of designing, planning and making a small ceramic sculpture based on the fantastic wildlife that lives around the clumps.

You’ll be using natural clay that has been foraged from around the site to create a truly unique artwork.

Once finished, your work will be dried and kiln fired before being displayed as part of a special exhibition at Earth Trust in July. Participants will receive an invitation to the private view (date tbc) and will be able to take their work home after the event or arrange collection at a different time.

• Recommended for children aged 6-11 with an accompanying adult per family (Grown-ups are very welcome to make their own sculpture too!)
• All materials, and refreshments, will be provided
• There is free, on-site car parking at the venue
• The venue is wheelchair friendly
