Pottery and modelling in clay are popular and a couple of times a year, we ignite our recently-constructed kiln, and fire the children’s pots and clay models. These are then decorated and even glazed. We also do mould making and plaster casting, some forays into spinning, weaving and fabric design, lino-cuts and block printing, They children have learned costume designing, sewing and dress-making as well as model making from natural resources (for example, the juniors enjoy making ‘tree houses’ from twigs, wood, string and other materials they can find).
