Join gardening and creative duo, Earth Tenders, for a hands-on session of clay hand building, inspired by the beauty and bounty of the natural world.
In this session, you’ll have the opportunity to create your own clay sculptures using red clay and various plant materials.
Infuse your creations with pollinator-supporting seeds, and choose to either contribute to a collective art piece, take your sculptures home or to a cherished natural space to dissolve and take root.
Suitable for children aged 5–12 years with their parents or carers.
