Children will be using skills previously taught to create and make clay lamps in different sizes and styles using coil techniques to make a sound vessel as well as design their own clay stamps.
One to three lamps will be made in different styles and sizes. These items will be decorative and functional creations using Kowhaiwhai basic patterns to help light up the night as we move into our new year Matariki celebrations.
The individual lanterns will help celebrate MÄori New Year, and welcome in the light, as a sign of hope and prosperity for the year to come.
If your child has previously attended our children’s clay classes and wants to go to the NEXT LEVEL and learn new clay techniques which will build on their skills – then book with us at info@raglanartscentre.co.nz or phone 825 0023 for more information.
