Pinched cup

At the workshop, children will get acquainted with clay and each will make their own cup. They will learn the pinching technique of clay and make one or two cups. They will also have the option to add a handle to the cup and decorate it with engobes. The finished products will later be glazed by the team at Center Rog and will be ready for pickup within one month.

The workshop is suitable for children aged 8 to 12 years old. It encourages creativity and manual skills, allows for getting to know clay as a material, and teaches the basics of clay modeling. Children will create functional items that can be used daily.
