Standing Manger
Grade(s): 4, 5, and 6
Location: Visual Art Studios at St. Albert Place (Art Gallery of St. Albert)
Program Delivery: In Person, In School, and Virtual
Students create a detailed 3D nativity scene that stands on its own. It’s a keepsake for years to come.
Seasonal class, running through winter months until early December.
*Note: All in school and virtual clay programs use air dry clay which is much less durable than clay that is bisque fired at our visual art studios. We cannot transport clay from in-school programs to the visual art studios for firing, but if your school has a kiln and a technician, we can supply suitable clay for firing at your school.
