Clay Workshop

Room 20 students really enjoyed the opportunity to experiment with clay on Monday afternoon, in a workshop run by the Christchurch City Art Gallery.  Each student created a clay plate with designs on it that were made from everyday "junk" objects found around the home.  

Here are some photos showing the students focusing on making their plates with the clay.
