Create a beautiful handmade version of the classic game in this relaxing two-week air dry clay workshop. During the first session, you'll learn how to shape and build your own noughts and crosses board, along with a complete set of playing pieces using air dry clay. Guided step-by-step, you'll explore simple clay techniques to create a functional keepsake that is both fun to play and stylish enough to display at home. Your creation will then be set aside to dry before the second session.

In week two, you'll bring your game to life with acrylic paints, adding colour, patterns and personal touches to make your set truly one of a kind. Whether you choose a modern, rustic or playful design, you'll leave with a beautifully finished noughts and crosses game that's perfect for family games nights or as a thoughtful handmade gift.

A complete kit is included with your workshop, containing air dry clay, sculpting tools, acrylic paints and brushes, so you'll have everything you need to create your personalised game under the guidance of our expert tutor.

Recent reviews of Beginners Guide to Air Dry Clay Noughts and Crosses Workshop

  • 5/5 from Jac, attended Aug 2026: Great session. Lots of fun, a good pace for beginners and helpful tutor for any questions.
  • 5/5 from Yvonne, attended Aug 2026: I thoroughly enjoyed both weeks of this workshop. The first week allows for the creation of the pancake/waffle board and blueberry and strawberry pieces although there is freedom and flexibility to create other styles if desired. It was a little rushed at the end but both playing pieces were clearly modelled to allow for continuation after the workshop. The clay then needs to dry over the week and the second workshops is all about painting the game pieces and board. Again everything was clearly modelled and demonstrated. It would be good if there could be additional advice or guidance on creating something to store the pieces as there is enough clay provided for this. The second host had a lovely idea of using the pancake as a lid and making a container under it to store the pieces which I thought is a great idea and could be added in to the class if it was made a little bit longer.
