It’s time for the kids to dive into clay this summer at the inspiring Tootsie Gallery and Cafe in Yass!
We’ll be hosting two creative workshops in Yass for kids aged 10–16 years old on 13 January and 20 January — each a fun, hands-on 2 hour session including morning tea.
From shaping and decorating to swirling colour and texture into their creations, these classes are all about exploring creativity, building confidence, and having fun with clay.
Ideal for a beginner pottery class or those with more experience with clay.
It’s the perfect way to get your hands muddy, meet new friends, and bring ideas to life — one playful piece at a time.
