Clay Sculpture Workshop | Functional Objects

In this workshop, young potters will create their own functional objects from clay, such as small bowls, little plates, pencil holders, and other everyday items.

With the guidance of the instructor, children will learn basic ceramic techniques: shaping, carving, and forming their creations. They will then paint and decorate their pieces, adding colors, patterns, and their own personal touches.

A hands-on experience that encourages imagination and creativity, introducing children to the joy of making things by hand!

Collage Workshop | Create a Poem!

On the occasion of World Poetry Day, we travel into the world of Odysseas Elytis through the poem “Hello, Mr. Hyacinth!”.

We play with associations, activate our imagination and create our own poetic collage: cutting out words and images from newspapers, magazines, and other upcycled materials to compose a unique artwork.

Children experiment, discover the freedom of creation, and play with the magic of poetry… using glue, scissors, and paper!
