Painting Clay Gingerbread Houses at Castlemilk Be Well

Bring your clay gingerbread house to life with paint, colour and plenty of festive details! Free and accessible to all. Last time we created gingerbread houses with a strong air-drying clay that will last for Christmases to come! Now bring your clay gingerbread house to life with paint, colour and plenty of festive details. Add snowy rooftops, icing-style decorations and colourful sweet-inspired details to create a Christmas decoration you'll bring out year after year. Returning to our creations from the building workshop, we'll use paints and a selection of decorative materials to transform our little clay houses into colourful festive decorations. From snowy rooftops and icing-style patterns to colourful sweets and tiny windows, there are plenty of ways to add character and personality to your creation. They might look good enough to eat, but please don't! These little gingerbread houses are made to last and can be brought out to decorate your home every Christmas. You'll have plenty of room to experiment with different shapes, designs and details to make your house completely unique. Once finished, your creation will be left to dry, ready for its next transformation! If you couldn't join us before, you can come along and build your own Gingerbread house using clay! This event runs as part of Glasgow Life's Be Well Programme. Be Well is a local Glasgow Life community programme offering opportunities to get involved, meet people, try new activities and enjoy spending time with others in your community. You'll get plenty of tea, coffee and biscuits in a warm friendly space. Based at Castlemilk Community Centre, Be Well provides a welcoming space to connect with others, discover new interests and take part in activities that support your health and wellbeing every other Wednesday 11.30am - 12.30pm. Whether you're looking to try something creative, learn a new skill, get out of the house or simply enjoy a bit of company, Be Well is a place to get involved and give something new a go. These sessions are delivered by trained artists from Stravaig Creative Arts.
