Are you already looking for ways to keep the kids entertained these school holidays? Finding engaging, screen-free activities can feel like a full-time job. Fortunately, Canberra has a creative gem hiding just 5kms from the CBD at the Watson Arts Centre. This is where the wonderful Canberra Potters call home.
They offer fantastic school holiday programs. These programs are specially designed for school-aged children, typically welcoming kids aged six and over. It’s the perfect place for little hands to get messy! The program is all about imagination. Kids get to explore the beautiful world of clay with expert guidance.
In fact, it’s a full-day adventure! Your child will learn the traditional art of hand-building. This includes cool techniques like coiling and modelling. They also get a chance to try out the legendary potter’s wheel. Watching the clay spin and turn into something new is truly magical. They can create functional items, or even fantastical sculptural pieces. Whatever their imagination dreams up, the tutors help bring it to life.
Plus, you don’t need any experience to join. All materials are included, from the clay to the glazing and firing. Your child will bring home up to four of their finished creations. They can show them off proudly once they are ready for pick-up!
This isn’t just for the kids. Canberra Potters welcomes parents to enrol alongside their children. So, you can make it a fun family experience! Imagine spending a day creating together. This could be your new favourite way to spend a holiday break. It’s a wonderful chance to connect through shared creativity.
So, book your spot soon and swap those screens for some spectacular clay action. Give your family the gift of creative play this holiday season!
