Clay Pottery
Third classes were very lucky to have a visit by local potter; Elaine Fallon from Brookwood Pottery. It was a unique opportunity for the children to learn about the process of making pottery. They asked the artist lots of questions and some children said they'd like to be a potter in the future! Elaine brought in some of her beautiful pieces which the children got to hold and admire.
Subsequently the children made their own clay pots and Elaine gave the children useful practical advise for moulding the pots successfully during her visit. The children marked Celtic designs on their pots as we were learning about the Celts in history. Finally they painted them in the colours of their choice. The children did a great job.
