Sensory Clay

This hands on workshop gives practitioners the chance to explore the use of clay within their schools and settings, and investigate its potential for learning and development. Participants are invited to explore new and exciting ways of offering clay to children, and gather new ideas for tools and resources. The session covers inventive ways of exploring the multi-sensory properties of clay as well as combining it with interesting techinques and approaches.

 
'I have realised that I can use a variety of cheap resources to make clay more interesting for the children, and that they have a lot more freedom without working towards an end result'
 
'I knew nothing about the creative potential of clay, but now I am going to gather more resources to encourage and empower the children's experimentation'
 
'We use clay regularly, but it was nice to have some other ideas to extend the children's learning'
