Third class have been exploring the slab technique for creating with clay. After looking at some inspirational clay pieces from an Irish sculptor, we planned our designs on paper. Next we got to work carving our birds from smooth slabs of clay. We used clay tools to make the markings from our design plans. It was more challenging than we expected but we all persevered and got there in the end ! Once the clay had dried out, it was time for some colour . We hope you like our beautiful birds!
