This workshop involves making clay stick sculptures based on sensory prompts. Learning from the artwork In A New Land … Be Longing, 2017 by Nurgul Rodriguez, children think of how to physically shape words, sounds and emotions. Shapes are promoted by words (coat, apple); textures are prompted by sounds (rain, waves) and colour is prompted by emotions (happy, sad).
