In the winter holiday course in week 8, the children get the opportunity to meet new friends and learn about ceramics and how to make exciting and magical objects in new ways. Everyone gets an object burned and handed out a few weeks after the course has been completed. In this connection, we arrange a small exhibition of children's art at Kunstnernes Hus.
The workshop includes a visit to the exhibition Horses Die Standing by Hanne Tyrmi.

About the workshop
Visual artist and ceramicist Maja Bang Haugsgjerd will over two days introduce the children to this fabulous material that artists have explored since the dawn of time. Everything can be a sculpture - a cup, a figure or something unknown. The course is about how we can turn an idea into an object shaped with our hands with the help of different techniques and cool tools.
What you need
No prior knowledge or experience is required, but we expect the participants to be interested in art and design. The course fee covers all materials.
What you learn
You learn about sculpture, ceramic techniques and inventive tools. Participants are introduced to techniques that everyone can explore further on their own, but also about how artists have expressed themselves in clay through different times.
