Create your own art at the Glyptotek’s Clay Studio. Get your hands into the clay and use tools to make beautiful patterns and strange creatures. Find inspiration in the museum’s floors, ceilings, and walls, filled with whimsical details.  

Your clay prints will be displayed on a huge exhibition wall, together forming an impressive joint work of art.  

Recycling of clay
The clay studio opened for the first time in 2022-23. During this period, the visitors used almost ten tons of clay and created some beautiful pieces, which became a part of the joint work of art at the studio. At the end, all the pieces were crushed and kneaded into clay again. This clay can now be used to create new art.
