The Nelson Mandela Metropolitan Art Museum is offering two exciting workshops in glass painting and sculptural clay for children this holiday. The workshops are aimed at equipping children with enviable creative skills which will help them make beautiful hand-crafted items.
Painting on glass is not as common as the well known painting on paper, canvas or even wood so children are welcome to test their creative skills at glass painting and discover the beautiful effect of light on colourful painted glass.
Those who are not keen at exploring glass painting can get their hands messy and test their creativity in the sculptural clay workshops. No fancy equipment is required. All that is needed are your hands, an eye for detail and an active imagination! The workshops are scheduled as follows:
Glass Painting:
- 12 and 14 December 2011 (Children 9 – 13 years old)
- 19 and 21 December 2011 (Children 14 – 18 years old)
Sculptural Clay:
- 4 and 5 January 2012 (Children 7 – 13 years old)
- 6 January 2012 (Children 14 – 18 years old)
All workshops will take place from 9am – 12pm. The cost is R30 and all materials will be provided including light refreshments. If children have a glass bottle/jar or any glass panel/object that they would like to paint on, they are welcome to bring it to the glass painting workshop.
Fifteen children can be accommodated per workshop and bookings can be made by phoning the Art Museum on 041 506 2000. Bursaries are available, on request, for qualifying applicants.
