School Holiday Fun
Staging the Great Hall: Coloured Slip Workshop
Tuesday 7 - Saturday 18 April, 2026
Time
1.00PM – 3.00PM
Pricing
(+ $1.50 booking fee per ticket)
Venue: Artists' Studios #2
Explore colour and clay in this creative ceramics workshop for ages 12+. A fun, hands-on holiday activity limited to two participants per session so you get lots of attention. No experience required.
In ceramics, a 'slip' is a slurry, mixture of clay and water. Artists can decorate their ceramics in vibrant colours by mixing coloured pigments into a clay slip.
You will learn the techniques the professionals use to make a coloured slip and then apply what you've learnt to decorate a miniature ceramic Great Hall in your own unique style!
Enjoy busy days exploring, creating and learning. Te Matatiki Toi Ora The Arts Centre is made for memories.
This event is part of The Arts Centre's School Holiday Fun happening between the 3-19 April 2026.
