Bush Buddy Workshop – Air Dry Clay Garden Ornament

Children will explore the shapes, patterns and textures found in real plants, then use these details to design and sculpt their own air-dry clay garden ornament or nature-inspired creature. A creative, hands-on workshop combining art, observation and imagination, with a clay piece to take home. Create your very own Air-Dry Clay Garden Ornament or Animal with qualified ethnobotanist Jessica Moulynox from Backyard Botany! In this fun, hands-on workshop, you’ll discover how science and creativity grow side by side. Learn about the shapes, textures, and patterns of real plants under the microscope, then use what you see to design and sculpt your own unique garden creature or botanical-inspired ornament. Guided by Jessica’s knowledge of ethnobotany (the study of how people and plants connect) you’ll explore nature’s hidden details while making art that celebrates the living world. Perfect for curious kids and adults who love science and imagination!
