Titanic Scrap Boats

Titanic Scrap Boats

This month sees the launch of an exciting series of art summer schemes as Play Resource partners with Belfast City Council and the Titanic Foundation. The project is part of the planned celebrations for April 2012, when the new building opens in the Titanic Quarter with nine interactive galleries. The chosen theme for this art project is Titanic Past, Present and Future.

Lead Artist Jim Russell is responsible for the artistic concept and will create one final larger exhibition piece to include all the local groups artwork.  We will keep you updated as the project develops but for more information visit Titanic Quarter.

Or be inspired by Jim Russell’s ideas and have a go at your own scrap version of the Titanic using this Titanic Boats Scrap Craft Sheet.

Air Drying Clay

Air Drying Clay

Air drying clay requires no firing and has a hardener and/or fibres added to give it strength. It has good plasticity, can be squeezed, pulled and pinched into shapes.

Moulded and modelled into 3 dimensional forms, rolled out flat in the same way as pastry and cut with a knife or clay cutters. Decorative effects can be added with wooden stampers or by modelling detail and joining it to the surface of the clay form.

Children of all ages new to clay will initially be happy to explore its qualities but later they will benefit from an introduction to some very simple techniques.
