"Our year 5 and 6 pupils really enjoyed their afternoon of clay modelling and they were really pleased with the finished products. My colleagues and I were also pleased with the two afternoons that were completed. They were really well organised and paced excellently to match the capabilities of the children and I also thought they represented great value for money as the children kept everything they made to take home." Mrs L Hemming, Class teacher, Haslington Primary School
They have over 25 years experience in making pottery. They are passionate about teaching it and welcome the opportunity to work with your school and pupils.
