Air Dry Clay Workshop

Air Dry Clay Workshop

With Andreia Pereira

Inspired by The Octopus Woman: A Tribute to Maria exhibition, participants are invited to explore and express a personal connection or bond, whether to another person, an object, an idea, or an aspect of themselves, through sculptural form.

Using air‑dry clay, each participant will create a unique inspired piece that symbolises this connection in a personal and meaningful way.

Participants will be guided through essential air‑dry clay techniques, including:

• Joining and securing clay pieces
• Moulding and shaping forms
• Texturising surfaces
• Using basic clay tools safely and effectively
• Painting dried sculpture

At the conclusion of the workshop, participants will take home their completed clay artwork in a small glass dome for display. 

10.15am, Saturday 11 April 2026

$40pp, bookings required on 4976 6766 or gragm@gladstone.qld.gov.au.
