The Ancient Greeks!
 
Clay bowls and urns decorated in traditional colour.  St. Mary's Catholic School Great Eccleston made these colour traditional shaped urns and jugs. Some painted ancient Greek style and some modern.
St. Mary's brought there school to the studio and they all made a clay pot Greek style. We fired them and they returned the following month to decorate them.

A class from St.Chads, Whittle le Woods has been studying the Ancient Greeks and Olympics. In art they each drew their own design in this theme to fit onto a mug. When they came to the studio we showed them different ways of decorating the mugs and also showed additional Ancient Greek and Olympic designs which they could use.
 

Creative weeks

Leverhouse School Creative week; all the pupils from reception upwards painted mugs. We did finger painting for the young ones and introduced different sponges and stamps to use for the older children. As you can see some of the really young did hand prints too. 
 
Clayton le Woods Primary choose a class to do a tile freeze, using the topics they had studied that year to date. We added 3D flowers, sea life, sun and leaves onto there individual tiles to add a new dimention to the work. A scout group celebrating the centenary asked me to sketch on the 2 buildings from the camp site onto tiles then took it in turns to paint each section. Each group had a border tile with the group name and they chose a leaf to stamp a design on their group tile. Top corner tiles have their badges painted on. This freeze is now on their church wall. This could easily be applied to a school looking for a project the whole school could do together.

Rewards and Retirement
 
One school brought a group of pupils with special needs to paint as a reward for improved work. The finished pieces went on display in school and at the end of term the pupils were awarded certificates with the pottery in the end of term awards ceremony. Leyland St Mary's Technology College Wind Band commissioned a signature plate for their retiring Head of Music.

Please see the next school project page for more ideas for nature and science. I welcome contact from you to discuss your individual needs adn schedules
