What is the creative group craft activity?
The Muse.
This creative activity is designed for the group to have fun and get to know each other a little better in a friendly, open environment. At the end the group will have created a clay bust of the group. The final ceramic items will be ready about two to three weeks later.
Timeline:
-
15 minutes: general introductions and instructions.
-
1 ½ hours: in pairs, the group sculpts a bust of their partner. The goal is to capture the essence of their muse.
-
15 minutes: each group member presents their creation and explains the reasoning behind the choices made for representing the individual they way they have (the features and decoration of their muse-ie. good listener, snappy dresser, etc.)
Result: the group creates an amazing physical representation of the entire group and a memorable experience to share for years to come.
