Places on the workshop are free and if you would also like to look around the museum, please pay for the adults in your party.
Join artist Fliss O’Neill at the Museum of Royal Worcester for a hands-on making workshop using clay to make vase shapes.
The workshop explores how the curved shapes of vases relate to the human form. Firstly, Fliss will help you to design and make paper templates inspired by a variety of vase shapes including those on display in the museum and in the art exhibition The Precious Clay. You will then take your template and make a clay vase façade, using the ‘slab’ technique of rolling the clay out flat. You can decorate your vase shape with textures or colours.
Please note that for our younger visitors a cardboard and oil pastel etching is offered, following the same theme.
Optional extra, £3 per item: to make your vase stronger, Fliss can take it away and fire it (heating it in a very hot kiln) for you to collect on a scheduled date.
