Knucker the Water Dragon – Family Clay Art Workshop

Course Description

Looking for something different to do during the summer holiday?

Why not bring your child or grandchild to the Weald and Downland Living Museum for a fun creative workshop.

Enjoy a morning making the mythical Knucker the Water Dragon from clay and learning about the myths and ancient legend that has been passed down through the ages. The dragon shaped tile will be created using your own ideas and imagination (or templates are provided) and you will learn how to transfer these ideas onto clay. You will then add colour to your dragon using glazes.

Once finished, your piece of artwork will be taken away by your tutor to be fired in her own kiln and can be collected from the Weald and Downland Living Museum at a later date (usually 2-3weeks).

This ticket covers one adult and one child as a pair. An additional child ticket can be purchased for £20. Please call 01243 811021 to book.
