ClayToys: the eco-friendly and accessible clay modelling and toy-making experience

A new social enterprise, providing workshops to children and adults, in making toys using clay combined with recycled materials. It's a collaboration in educational hands-on learning and play with natural and recyclable materials.

It is a beautiful experience to shape a piece of clay, and see its transformation into a solid object through firing.
Pedro and Renzo are developing an alternative way to explore and learn from clay, by combining their expertise in clay modelling and sustainable toy-making.

Clay is a versatile and organic material that has been used to make toys for thousands of years. Recyclable materials are a modern resource largely accessible to everyone and easy to transform, adopting basic manual skills and simple techonology.

The two experts are offering workshops in making clay-toys to schools, museums, summer festivals, children's libraries, play and communities centres. They are experienced practitioners in family learning arts activities.
