Use air dry clay to create a clay mobile.

This is the second of two sessions, in this session participants will put together their pieces from the last session, then decorate their completed mobile.

We’ll experiment with fun techniques using the colours of the season and mixed-media crafts to create autumnal art, leafy designs, and bright gumboots and umbrellas.

Perfect for young artists who love to get creative (and a little bit messy!).

Join us for Bunting Bonanza and design your own colourful bunting to brighten up your room or next celebration!

Cut, decorate and create a string of cheerful flags to take home. 🎉
