Practical information
What will children make?
Hanan Saif and Fleur van den Berg help children create an original clay artwork. The focus is on experimenting, shaping and working creatively.
The workshop links to the Klei+ exhibition, which shows the many possibilities of clay.
Who will enjoy it?
Best for children aged six and over who enjoy crafts, modelling or hands-on work. It is an affordable, calm indoor option for families.
The listing does not state a maximum age, group size or whether work is fired and can be taken home immediately. Ask when registering.
Is it worth it?
Yes, €5 is unusually affordable. Two artists lead the activity and the historic art-society setting gives it extra character.
Registration is by email and payment is cash. Do not rely on walking in without confirmation.

- Register through info@arsaemula.nl.
- Bring €5 cash per child.
- Wear clothes that may get dirty.
