Sculpt clay animals and bonds that last forever
Join the two-day Clay & Play camp to shape animals from clay, learn their stories, and build memories with your child in a screen-free, creative space. More than a clay workshop, it’s a weekend to play, create, and connect with your family.

Why parents choose Clay & Play
In two days at Clay & Play, parents and children learn, laugh, and slow down together

Learn clay sculpting
Explore how to roll, press, and bring animals to life in clay. From dogs to deer, you’ll learn techniques to sculpt with your hands, instead of books or screens, and feel the excitement of creating something that looks alive.

Enjoy quality family time
When was the last time you sat face-to-face with your family, fully present? At Clay & Play, you’ll learn sculpting, laugh at funny shapes that appear, cheer each other on, and build moments your child will carry for life.

Feel the calm of the earth in your hands
Clay is more than an art material; it’s a piece of earth. The touch of it slows you down, grounds your thoughts, and gives a rare sense of calm. In shaping clay together, you’ll discover a soothing rhythm that reconnects you to nature and each other.
Your weekend at Clay & Play
Over two days, you’ll journey from playful clay discovery to sculpting lifelike animals with everything you need taken care of along the way.
In just two days, you’ll journey from the first touch of clay to creating lifelike animals, while we provide all the materials, meals, and care you need along the way.
Exploring clay
Begin with free-form clay play to explore textures and shapes. Then move into guided sculpting sessions where you and your child create your first animals, with the help of the artist, Saravanakumar.
Sculpting and storytelling
Go deeper with sculpting animals like elephants, deer, and cows. Learn how to capture their features and movements, and enjoy playful storytelling as each clay figure comes to life.
Everything you need is included
Along with sculpting materials, you’ll experience a lot of things. The camp takes place in the 16-acre organic sanctuary, Iyal Thottam, Sethumadai, where you’ll also enjoy
