Class 3 - ceramics project update

Hilly Kerr returned to school to help Class 3 pupils to complete the next step in their Saxon-inspired jewellery project. Regular readers will recall that pupils had previously sketched out and constructed their designs with clay. We were relieved that all pieces survived the initial firing in the kiln - which turned the clay from a soft, malleable brown into a rigid, white piece. On Wednesday, children applied their glazes. The next stage of the process is for the pieces to be fired once again before they are threaded and ready to wear. We can’t wait to see the finished jewellery pieces. As always, our heartfelt gratitude goes to Hilly for inspiring our pupils’ love of ceramics and providing such an enjoyable learning experience.
