The project is supported by the President\u2019s Award for Creativity, which is managed in collaboration with Arts Council Malta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Through a partnership with Alka Ceramics, the children have been enjoying hours of fun working with clay. Most of the sessions are held at the Karl Vella Foundation Centre. Under the direction of an artist, the children have learnt about the various uses of clay, tried their hand at copying very basic objects and were also given the opportunity of giving free rein to their imagination&nbsp;by creating articles of their own fancy. The children have also been to the Alka Ceramics pottery factory, where they followed a video about pottery making and were also given the opportunity&nbsp;to glaze their own objects. The project psychotherapist listens to the children describing their creations and&nbsp;provides explanations&nbsp;to any questions the children might raise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/artscouncilmaltagovmt.skipdns.link\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/1487862701.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>The Karl Vella Foundation was established to provide educational and psychological assistance to children in families disrupted by serious illness of a family member.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This project is supported by the Premju tal-President g\u0127all-Kreattivit\u00e0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":10568,"template":"","funded_project_category":[39],"class_list":["post-10538","funded_project","type-funded_project","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","funded_project_category-international"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.1 -
