Clay workshop
On Friday a section of Year four pupils were invited to a fantastic clay workshop at Valley Park secondary school. To say we all learnt some new skills would be an understatement!
The children learnt how to make clay pots in a Greek style using a variety of techniques which included: roughing and rolling and then using the rolls to create the body of the pot. We then learnt to pinch and drag to smooth the sides out.
The fantastic teacher leading the workshop demonstrated each technique in small steps, which made it a lot easier to understand and absorb. We had a wonderful time and I know that the children that attended can't wait to go back this week and learn how to glaze their pots.
What a wonderful afternoon and a huge thank you to Valley Park for hosting us.
