The Pottery Association of Namibia (PAN) will once again be part of the Bank Windhoek Kids Art Zone, which is part of the Bank Windhoek Kidz Fun Fair. Last year, the PAN stand was packed with children of all ages, creating beautiful pottery. This year, PAN plans to make the Bank Windhoek Kids Art Zone even more exciting for children, by organising the well-known potter, Lesley, to ‘fire’ the children’s completed artworks. Moreover, PAN will provide the children with information about clay and clay suppliers. Children can participate in all of PAN’s activities for free.
“This year our motto will be, ‘Clay-enjoyment with PAN’. Children of all ages are invited to join us and play with clay. We will do handwork as well as wheelwork. The wheelwork will be for children older than six years. Children can also create their unique pottery with the assistance of professional Namibian potters”, said Betsie van Rensburg, PAN Secretary.
The Bank Windhoek Kidz Fun Fair will take place at the SKW Sports Ground. Entrance fee is N$40 for adults, kids between 2 to 18 pay N$10 and for kids under 2, entrance is free. On 10 September 2011, the gates will open from 09:00 until 19:00 and on 11 September 2011 gates will open from 09:00 until 16:00.
Betsie concluded: “Our aim is to convert our own positive, relaxing experience with clay to each and every child. So come indulge yourself with clay. You will find out that once you start creating with clay, you will not stop”.
