Who doesn't love a gnome? We love to paint ours to look like people we know 😁 This one is going to spend the rest of her days camouflaged amongst the plants in the garden! Who do you know who would love to be immortalised in gnome form?!

My youngest volunteers!

The girls and I spent the afternoon making gnomes on this rainy weekend 🌧️ I also tried out my video-making skills (content-great, quality-debatable!) which I will definitely work on!

I have 7 kits ready to take away to create your own gnome (slightly more difficult than these my daughters made), this activity would suit older kids (10+) or adults. I'll be contacting people today to collect:

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED- FREE CLAY ACTIVITIES!

Hi everyone, my little business isn't fully set up yet but given that many of us are in isolation or just staying away from groups, I thought I'd use the opportunity to conduct some trials.

I need some volunteers to have a go at some clay projects and some pottery painting projects please! The cost to you will be nil, and the activities will take place in your own home but I will need you to arrange collection and return from Henley Beach South so your pieces can be fired in the kiln.

In return, you must provide me with feedback on the activity so I can refine it. Please note that I don't have nice packaging organised yet so you will be provided with the materials in any old box or container I find lying around!

If you are interested, please comment on this post with either of the following:

1. MAKE a gnome man from clay
2. MAKE a gnome lady from clay
3. PAINT a clay gnome man
4. PAINT a clay gnome lady

If there is much interest, I have other activities that I will advertise for trialling: making or painting fairy houses, plates, mugs etc.

Thanks for your help!

Oh the cuteness 😍 These personalised plates are designed to evoke memories of eating yummy food at birthday parties! The size and shape is very similar to a paper party plate, only these ones can be used time and again for years to come 🍝🎊
