Clay Works Workshops
In our building made of clay, we hold two workshops that will allow you to experience the wonders of clay - the shiny clay ball workshop and clay pastels workshop.
Shiny Clay Ball Workshop
In this workshop, we make our original shiny clay balls using clay for pottery.
- Utterly different from the mud balls that children make in a sandbox or a playground, our clay balls are crafted by curving, coloring, and polishing a piece of rounded clay into a shiny sphere. It is a fun and engaging 90 minutes workshop for both adults and children.
How to Make the Clay Works Original Shiny Clay Balls
- Shape the ceramic clay using a rounding tool until it is a perfect sphere and smoothen the surface.
- Color and decorate the ball with clay mixture.
- Polish the ball using the mouth of a glass jar until it is shiny.
