Family Art Fun Day – Clay Play!

Make your very own ceramic object!

Have go at pottery at Turf Projects where we will be working with ceramic artist Daisy Young. We will be handbuilding pots and plates and decorating with slip (a mixture of colour and wet clay). They will be fired in our kiln for you to pick up at a later date.  This workshop is for children and their families to explore together. It is inspired by our current project MakeRoom which is all about sharing and learning new skills!

 

This free workshop is most suitable for ages 5-11, but all are welcome to come and have a go. All ages are welcome and for this workshop we’d especially love for children to come with a family member over 65, to collaborate together! You only need to book for one if you would like to bring a caregiver.


Please note, we are now running the same Family Fun Day workshop twice per exhibition. Once on a Saturday, and once during school holidays. Please only book one of these dates, to allow as many families as possible to get involved!

WORKSHOP CODE:

Turf aims to be a space where all are welcomed & respected. We ask all attendees to align with this spirit when booking and support us in creating a welcoming & collaborative atmosphere together. We ask that everyone is;

  • Kind and respectful in our language and behaviour towards others. Turf is a space which is anti racism, sexism, homophobia and ableism.
  • Considerate of others’ time; allowing others room to speak & engage.
  • Respectful of the space itself as belonging to many people, treating the space & objects with care.
  • Attend wherever possible: In 2023, around 30% of people booking free tickets didn’t turn up! Our free tickets are limited and in high demand. Every person who doesn’t turn up means someone else can’t attend, so please let us know if you can’t make it to free up a space. If you don’t attend twice or more without letting us know, you may be restricted from booking again.
