Week 7 - Working with Clay

 Today was such a relaxing day - wet outside so it was nice to be indoors and working with clay - the children created some wonderful little clay decorations out of pieces of pine and heather stamped onto the clay - These are now waiting to dry - and later - if they wished could be painted - or just left as they are!!

We also finished the jars today by turning them into globes - filled with water and some secret ingredients to make the orbies float inside.. 

I am sad to say it was my final day with this class - but I've very much enjoyed the experience and hope to see them all again soon.. Keep up the creative work everyone - you are a talented class! Thanks to Emma, the school and support teachers for everything.

Week 6 - Jar decorating and Paper Marbling

 This week the children collected some leaves and various small foliage in the school grounds to decorate jars - next week we will create something with the jars - but today was so much fun designing the jar- they can of course be left as they are right now - and used as a decoration for fairy lights or a candle - We also did some paper marbling - inspired by the colours of nature. Below here is the finished artwork that we created over the last two weeks - using the cyanotypes and the fabric artworks that each child made in the class - and they are all sewn and combined into one large artwork - its looks so amazing!!  The details of some of the pieces here are so creative - -well done everyone - your should be so proud! Here are the decorated jars -- after spending some time outside collecting colourful petals and leaves.   And finally below are the marbled papers - didn't get to take photos of them all - but they were so creative...
