Exciting times we are expanding and looking for someone to help us do it!
We are on the hunt for a Team Leader and Events Coordinator…. If you’re creative and love working with young people, then this could be the role for you.
JumpingCLAY South Sheffield has an exciting range of educational programmes that we are delivering in local schools. All of our after-school programmes are an interactive, hands-on experience that teach children to bring their imagination to life. Each week you will take children on a new path of discovery and create a new masterpiece to take home that day. We also deliver toddler sessions, children’s parties, and sessions for local community groups with adults.
JumpingCLAY is a mess free eco friendly air drying modelling clay which is perfect for children’s and adults craft projects alike. The eight bright and intermixable colours can blend together, creating any texture or tone without any unwanted smearing. Forget about sticky glue as after you’ve perfected your shapes, they bond together without any need for adhesives. There’s no baking required with JumpingCLAY. Simply leave finished pieces to air dry naturally. Your finished models will dry, perfectly formed, without any sign of cracks, crumbs, faded colours or unwanted shrinkage within 24-48 hours.
