Learner statement:
Making first was strange, but mistakes are easy to fix with clay. We used beach items, hands and tools to make our pieces and learned some new techniques. Some things didn’t work out, but our teacher helped us fix it. Working with very wet clay was hard, our teacher cut the shapes the day before for next time – much easier. We were disappointed that some bits broke in the kiln, but we know what we need to do differently next time. We live near the sea and think the mirror suits it perfectly, it looks better than we imagined. - Jasmine, Sophie, Yann, Esme, Jasmine and Bonnie at Kings Ash Academy
