See How The Telegraph Online Edugraph’s DIY Clay Craft Workshop Inspired Young Creators!

The Telegraph Online Edugraph's much talked about summer workshop series is underway, offering students an opportunity to learn real-world skills and prepare for the future. This dynamic series, running from May 18 to June 11, 2024, is packed with engaging and fun activities. Held at the prestigious Sri Sri Academy in Kolkata, the workshops welcome children aged 8 to 18 years, providing a space for discovery and learning new skills.

A recent highlight of the Edugraph Workshops: Summer Edition was the exhilarating DIY Clay Craft session, held from May 27 to 29, 2024. Led by the versatile artist Mishrin Akhtar, the workshop, quite literally, captured the imaginations of students aged 8-18 years.

Mishrin Akhtar, renowned for her extraordinary talent in transforming everyday objects into magnificent art pieces, guided the participants through the fascinating world of clay craft. With her unique eye for beauty and a passion for nurturing young imaginations, Mishrin motivated the children to create stunning masterpieces from simple materials. Her dedication to stoking creativity in children is evident in her belief that art can enrich lives and unlock endless possibilities.

The children dived enthusiastically into the clay craft activities, creating delightful items such as fridge magnets, bookmarks, and charming little Llama plant pots. Throughout the sessions, their faces lit up with joy and excitement as they moulded the clay and brought their imaginative designs to life.

Reflecting on the experience, Mishrin shared, “My experience with the participants at the clay craft workshop was immensely rewarding. The warm and inviting ambience fostered a creative and supportive environment. The kids, mostly new to clay craft, showed keen interest and genuine enthusiasm. They enjoyed experimenting with the clay, and their excitement was palpable as they discovered their creative potential. They were particularly interested in learning how to shape and mould the clay, often experimenting with different techniques to create unique designs. They were fascinated by the glazing process and loved seeing their projects come to life with colour!”

Parents and guardians of the participants were equally thrilled with the workshop. A parent noted, "My child came home every day bubbling with stories about what they had created. It's wonderful to see them so engaged and passionate about something new."

Participant feedback was overwhelmingly positive. One of the young artists exclaimed, "I've never done anything like this before! It was so much fun, and I can't wait to do more clay crafting at home."
