Forest Guardians clay class
Clay class at Fig Tree Studio
Join me to create a red earthenware forest guardian wall hanging, inspired by the Celtic Green Man and Women. These can be hung in your garden or home, where ever you'd like a bit of magic.
We will use my own templates and imprint with leaves and fabric to create the textures on the face. This is a fun activity which looks super and is achievable even if this is your first time using clay. Suitable for complete beginners or experienced.
These will be unglazed and fired to earthenware temperature to allow the deep terracotta colour to develop. All materials are provided so all you need to do is just turn up ready to have some fun and creativity. Warming herbal teas, and nibbles will be available.
Booking essential, contact clpates@hotmail.com or text 021 143 7705
$50 per person:
Includes all materials, kiln firing and nibbles
7pm- 9:30pm
Thursday 12 November
Completed pieces are ready to collect 4 weeks after class to allow time for firing.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
