Jump start the year with a fun and short clay workshop!

BEND IT LIKE BECKHAM

a kick-off into the world of play with clay

for children ages 8 to 14

Stepping into the world of clay crafting with a Russian folk tale?

Yes! A short story that highlights the cultural significance of toys over the years, is the first step on the diving board that plunges you into a short, refreshing workshop that will have you making your own BENDY TOY!

Made using clay beads of different shapes held together by a flexible wire, these ‘action’ figures can be made to move as per your imagination, providing for hours of entertainment and expression.

The best part of this toy? Each of the beads that form your personal ‘Bendy’ will be made by You AND, put together by You, after they have been fired!

The finale of this workshop will be an all-together activity of the ‘Bendys’ that will highlight the co-relation between body language and emotion.

So, go ahead. Unleash the characters in your mind and watch them come alive in your hands!
