Pottery plates at Wyche Primary School
Yr 1 & 2 at Wyche Primary School are creating treasure boxes. The class teacher contacted me to see if I’d come into school and show the children each how to make a plate to go in their boxes.
We used a simple ‘pie dish’ technique by flattening lumps of clay into large slabs and placing them into moulds.
The plate makers then added animal inspired decoration before painting their creations with coloured slip.
The class had worked with an illustrator earlier in the week, the skills they’d attained evident in the wonderful additions and drawings.
The children in Yellow Class had a wonderful morning with Jon.I was amazed how much we managed to achieve in one morning.It was a great support to our current topic and Jon was really helpful both during the session and with the planning of it.The quote of the day came one 5 year old boy who said ” I am really proud of my plate”. Thanks Jon
