Manchester Craft and Design Centre

Join us for a free day of autumnal fun on Wednesday 23rd October from 11am – 3:30pm.
If you’re looking for something to do with the kids this half-term, pop along for treasure hunts around the Northern Quarter, craft activities, and more!

  • Discover the Northern Quarter an with exciting street art treasure hunt
  • Join Manchester Active for a variety of outdoor games that everyone can enjoy
  • Get ready for spring at our bulb planting station, where you can take home a pot to nurture over winter
  • Express your creativity with clay play led by ceramist Katherine Lees

Katherine will be running a free fun clay play session. Have a go at building your own part of a large clay sculpture. You will first draw what you want to make, then get to work shaping and building the piece. Learn how to shape and join pieces of clay using different tools to make your masterpiece. This will then be added to a larger clay shape, to form one giant clay sculpture. Katherine has a range of longer workshops and her ceramic pieces are on sale in Studio 5 on the ground floor.

This is a messy activity so please wear appropriate clothing (aprons will be provided). Children must be accompanied by an adult. Suitable for ages 3+. All clay and tools will be provided. Please arrive 10 minutes before your session to allow time for drawing and putting aprons on.
