Monster Sculptures with artist Paul Raymond

Led by artist and sculptor Paul Raymond, you'll create your own monster sculpture to take home.

Learn a range of sculpting techniques, and create fun and fearsome monsters using modelling clay. Paul will show you how to sculpt different features and textures, including scales, fur, tentacles, googly eyes, tongues, claws and fangs. There will also be some fun and interactive games to help you with the design process. Whether cute and cuddly, or scary and fierce - your monster will be unique and creative! 

This is an opportunity to work with a professional artist, sculptor and arts educator. You'll learn a range of sculpting techniques to create your own unique piece. 

This is a workshop for children aged 7 - 12 with their grown ups. Children and adults can make a monster each; or they can work as a pair to make one monster together. Please note, additional adults joining a child-and-adult pair cannot make their own sculpture, however they can assist the other people in their party.

This event is part of our Ways to Play programme of free and low-cost family-friendly activities.

Make your ‘Ways to Play’ adventure a great value day out by travelling to our venues by the Metro. Up to three children aged 11 and under can travel for free on the Metro and the Shields Ferry with a fare-paying adult. Metro is the convenient, fast and frequent way to get to your favourite attractions and now it’s even more affordable.
