A Surprise Visit at Brearley...

A diary mix-up meant the staff at Brearley were somewhat surprised when Jon the Potter turned up on the doorstep for a day of clay exploration. Faced with a long and fruitless journey home, the staff were as accommodating as ever, and allowed Jon to stay.

The children were given the opportunity to make coilpots outside in the quad. Although the temperature struggled to creep above zero degrees the children didn't appear to feel the cold and made some exceptional pieces. These were rounded up and displayed in the outside gallery space. We particularly loved Bobbie's Gruffalo cave with 'space rocket' addition (featured above).
