Clay Programme
A year-long sculpting programme for children aged 3 to 10, delivered once a week inside your own classroom. Over thirty sessions across the school year, each one teaching something new and building on the last.
This is not a one-off art session. It is a planned curriculum, written by art teachers and educators, that happens to be enormous fun.
Why this is not an art class
Children’s art sessions are easy to find in Malaysia. This is a different thing entirely.
What children make
Clay Programme uses soft, lightweight air-drying clay that needs no oven and does not leave a mess in the classroom. Every week brings a different subject and a completely new creation.
Children learn how simple forms become animals, objects, food, vehicles, plants, buildings and characters of their own design. All projects are original Pikiko designs.
Each creation comes from a different world, and children learn something about that world as they build it. So the hour widens more than their imagination — it widens what they know.
What children practise
Shape
Rolling, pressing, pinching, flattening, forming.
Build
Joining, layering, construction, proportion.
Detail
Texture, colour, decoration, small features.
Design
Personal choices, independent ideas, self-expression.
From a ball of clay to something completely their own
Early lessons focus on achievable forms. As the year continues, projects introduce more pieces, smaller components, finer detail, better proportion and more independent decisions.

A non-figurative option
Some schools prefer projects that do not include people or animals. We offer an alternative project for every figurative week — food, plants, vehicles, buildings, landmarks, patterns, letters and objects.
