How to Build a Ceramic Sculpture

Age Group: This is a family ceramics workshop and is suitable for children 6+

Join Wild Rangers and artist Lily German for this family ceramics workshop, part of Lewisham’s London Borough of Culture 2022 creative programme.

For this workshop we head to Camp Nesbit and read a short passage from the story Five Children and It and explore Edith Nesbit’s quirky character of the Psammead (Sand Fairy) and other creatures that once roamed the earth. We learn how climate change and human activity has created difficult living spaces for our wildlife, and what we can do to make things better for them and us.

We then get creative with artist Lily German who will teach us clay building skills to make our very own ‘Psammead’ – drawing inspiration from the creatures we learn about.

We will then write a wish for the future and leave it in the woodland for the Psammead to make true!

Why not make a day of it and also join our afternoon workshop with author Nan Eshelby.
