Hindustan Times Clay Modelling Workshop for classes 3-5

Clay modelling is an activity that helps the development of students in several ways. It nurtures a child’s creativity, boosts imagination, and imbibes self-confidence. The touch and feel of clay have a naturally relaxing quality. Pressing, squeezing, poking, and reshaping the clay into different shapes, improves a child’s motor skills. The student’s problem-solving skills can be explored when he decides how far they can shape the clay before it breaks, de-shapes, and drops.

Keeping this in mind, a clay modelling workshop was organised at The Indian School – Second Shift in collaboration with Hindustan Times on Wednesday, March 22, 2023. The facilitator, Ms Namita Saxena, artist  has participated and curated various national and international exhibitions. She demonstrated how to use air drying clay to decorate pots and mugs.

The activity was conducted by the students of classes 3 – 5. The students used their imagination and creativity to make flowers and decorate their mugs. It was delightful to see the masterpieces created by the young students. The students also learnt to paint their creations beautifully. The students actively took part in the workshop and enjoyed it thoroughly. To create something from scratch is indeed to be proud of and empowering! It was an engaging session for the students as well as the teachers.
