Revolting pottery
Roald Dahl’s ‘Revolting Rhymes’ provided hours of inspiration for a family pottery/poetry workshop fusion earlier this month. Families dropped into the Walled Garden during the Ledbury Poetry Festival to make their favourite gruesome character from the disturbing set of poems. We lost count of all the Little red ridding hoods, dressed in wolf skin coats, totting a pistol or two!…and as for the volume of decapitated ugly sisters….
The clay models were then hidden around the shrubs and plants in the walled garden for visitors to stumble upon as they strolled in the sunshine. Once the festival ended families were invited to reclaim their artwork from it’s hiding place.
LPS last session
Where did those 12 weeks go!?
Thoroughly enjoyed my residency at Ledbury Primary School Nursery working with the children, their parents and staff exploring clay, language and communication.
We finished the series of workshops with a celebratory collaborative pot, covered with the children’s designs and marks. This will be fired and returned to the school after 1/2 term.
Messy clay play at lps Nursery
Penultimate session at Ledbury Primary School Nursery turned into a messy festival of clay, water and slip.
Took us ages to clear up once the children had left the malaise (big thanks to the lovely parents who stayed behind to help) but worth every second as the children got so much out of the exercise.
