Ceramics workshop at MBA
Our annual visit to MBA is already upon us and wow, we made amazing clay sculptures in just 2 hours! The terrific teaching of Mrs Simpson enabled us to transform a ball of clay weighing exactly 250g and turn it into a roarsome dragon!
Learning how to make pinch and thumb pots, and also the key sculpture techniques of score and slip, join and smooth, we were able to create fabulous pieces. We used knives, kidneys, rolling pins and a variety of clay tools to create the shapes and texture features we desired. We cannot wait to see how they dry out and fire over the coming weeks ready for us to paint.
As always, a HUGE THANK YOU to Mrs Simpson and her team at MBA for allowing us to visit and experience Art tuition, high school style.
