Description
Saturday morning sculpting for little hands and big imaginations.
Clay is squishy, messy, wonderfully forgiving – and capable of becoming pretty much anything.
At Michelangelo in Pajamas, kids explore the world of ceramics through playful, guided projects designed to get their hands moving and their imaginations going. One week it might be a funky mug, another a funny creature, a colourful bowl or something completely unexpected.
Our instructors introduce the project and techniques step by step, but this isn’t about making ten identical little masterpieces. Kids are encouraged to experiment, add their own ideas and turn the project into something unmistakably theirs.
Parents and accompanying adults are very welcome to join the fun too – create something together, work side by side, or let your little Michelangelo take over the creative part.
PJs optional. Clay under the fingernails? Pretty much guaranteed.
More Infos
Michelangelo in Pajamas is designed for kids aged 6–12.
The projects and instructions are adapted to this age group, with plenty of guidance from our instructors and room for every child to interpret the project in their own way.
You’re welcome to arrive a little earlier to settle in and get comfortable before we start.
Our Saturday morning sessions follow a simple rhythm:
10:15–10:30 → Arrival & drop-off
Come in, get settled and get ready to create.
10:30–12:00 → Creative session
Our instructor introduces the day’s project and demonstrates everything step by step. Then it’s time to create! The kids work on their own interpretations, with guidance and support whenever they need it.
12:00–12:15 → Pick-up
Time to see what your little artists have been up to and head home after a creative Saturday morning.
Parents and accompanying adults who have booked a spot simply join the creative session and work alongside the kids.
Not at all!
You’re welcome to drop your child off before the session and pick them up afterwards.
But parents are also very welcome to join! If you feel like getting your hands into some clay too, simply book a spot for yourself and create alongside your child.
Everything your little sculptor needs:
- Full guided ceramics session
- Clay and all necessary materials
- Tools and studio equipment
- Decorating and glazing materials
- Firing of the finished piece
No need to bring any materials from home.
Every Michelangelo in Pajamas session features a different ceramics project.
Kids might sculpt playful figures, build a funky mug, create a bowl, make decorative objects or explore another fun way of working with clay.
The project gives everyone a starting point, but there’s always plenty of room for imagination and individual interpretation.
Not at all!
Michelangelo in Pajamas is designed so kids can jump straight in, even if they’ve never worked with clay before. Our instructors demonstrate the project step by step and help whenever needed.
Curiosity and a willingness to get your hands a little muddy are more than enough.
Possibly! Working with clay can get a little messy – that’s part of the fun.
We provide aprons, but we still recommend wearing comfortable clothes that don’t mind a little creative action.
Not quite – ceramics need a little more patience.
After the session, your creations stay with us to dry and be fired in our kiln. They’ll usually be ready for collection within 2–4 weeks.
We’ll explain after the workshop when and where you can collect your finished pieces.
We’ll store your finished ceramic pieces for one month.
Yes! During the workshop, iced tea and water are available for the kids, while accompanying adults can enjoy coffee and tea.
Tickets may be transferred to someone else at any time.
If your plans change, you can reschedule your booking up to 72 hours before the workshop.
Unfortunately, cancellations or changes are no longer possible within 36 hours of the event.
