'The Little Sculptor' — Children's Master Class in Porcelain Modelling
The museum launches a public children's programme 'The Little Sculptor' — children aged 7-12 together with parents learn to mould from porcelain clay, paint and fire their own works.
In March 2026 the Kyiv Porcelain Museum launches a new public children's programme 'The Little Sculptor', held every Sunday. The programme is designed for children aged 7-12 together with parents — each 'parent-child' pair becomes one creative team. The master class lasts three hours, including modelling from porcelain clay, drying, preliminary firing, painting, final firing in a children's kiln at the safe temperature of 850 degrees Celsius.
Thematic cycles of the programme are created on the basis of Ukrainian fairy tales and folk motifs: 'Kolobok' (figurine of the central character), 'Lysychka-sestrychka' (theme of the cunning heroine), 'Kotyhoroshko' (strongman-warrior), 'Solomian Bull', 'Snow Queen' by Lesya Ukrainka. A separate section is 'Animals of Poltava Region' (rabbit, hedgehog, swallow) with references to the animalistic tradition of KEKHZ. The programme aims to return Ukrainian decorative plastic art to the daily cultural education of children — the new generation should know that Ukraine has its own great tradition of artistic porcelain, not only imported toys.
