Humans have been harvesting salt in Maldon for thousands of years. Northey Island has evidence of these early salt works, where salt was dried over open fire bowls, creating red clay ‘hills', remnants of which can still be found in the area today.  

Join us for a family workshop, just in time for Father’s Day, where you'll meet a local ceramicist, learn more about the island's fascinating history and then have the opportunity to create your own Northey-inspired clay sculpture. 

No experience is necessary, children must be accompanied by an adult.

Join us for a family-friendly clay-making workshop on Northey Island.

Art on the Island: Salt clay workshop

Artist Sara Hayes and a guest artist will guide you along Northey Island, investigating its environmental importance and some of the measures taken to protect it.

You will think about how we interact with this place, and come away with a new way of looking at the location and some creative art work as part of that.

Materials and refreshments will be provided.

Enjoy a walk to Northey Island and take part in some creative activities along the way.
