Having workshops with clay is essential for DES students for several reasons. First and foremost, working with clay fosters creativity and self-expression. It allows students to mould and shape their ideas into tangible forms, promoting artistic exploration and innovation. Additionally, clay workshops promote tactile learning, improving fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination. They also encourage patience and perseverance as students learn to work through the challenges of manipulating a malleable medium.

Furthermore, clay workshops provide a unique sensory experience, engaging multiple senses and enhancing memory retention. These workshops offer a well-rounded educational experience that nurtures artistic skills, cognitive development, and a deeper appreciation for the arts. Students of Grade A create their clay structure, “Σείστρο”, an ancient musical instrument!
