Young sculptors are invited to play with clay at a pottery workshop in Whitefield Library & Adult Learning Centre.

It’s a chance to make a character from a favourite book, or an animal, object or favourite person. There are many books in the library to provide inspiration, or bring your own favourite item along to copy from.

Make sure that you wear something that is easy to clean as you can get very messy with clay!

The session takes place on Thursday April 8 from 10am to noon. The cost is £7 per child, but accompanying adults can help free of charge.

Places are limited and must be booked by calling the library.
