The staff at Springfield Primary School in the West Midlands came up with an inspired solution to an age old problem of working with clay, children and a carpeted school!

The footwear was incredible easy to put on and did nothing to dampen the children’s creativity. All 430 children contributed to a marvellous collection of collaborative terracotta animals and birds. Classes were mixed up so that the younger children got to work alongside the older ones – all very harmonious.

Once the sculptures are out of the kiln we’ll photograph them and pop them up on line and eventually the work will be installed in various outside locations dotted around school.
