Sculpt in clay
Course for children and adult security personnel
22-23 July 2025
Part of Capellagården's summer course program is aimed at children who want to take a creative course together with an adult security person. A security person can be a parent, mother/grandparent or other important adult in the child's life. The course emphasizes playfulness, curiosity and creative joy and is aimed at both children and adults. The child's process is in focus and the adult participates in the course on the child's terms.
During the "Sculpting in clay" course, we get to know clay as a material and test different ceramic techniques, including thumbing and ringing. We start from memories and things when we build and experiment. All course participants may bring 1-3 objects from home that they want to use as inspiration for their sculptures. Maybe you have a snob stuffed animal, a Lego batmobile, a washed-out snitch blanket, a dolphin souvenir from Mallorca or a teacup from grandma that you want to work with. We must of course take home what we create, however, we will not be able to burn what we have created, it must be room-dried at home.
The course runs over two days from 9 am to 3 pm with joint breaks for coffee and lunch. What we create, we get to take home with us, of course.
Recommended age of the child is 8 to 12 years.
No prior knowledge is required.
