Exploring Clay with Children covers the basics of clay making and offers guidance for class and home projects. The text is highly illustrated with step by step instructions and full colour examples of pupils finished work. This is a lovely touch and should inspire parents and teachers to experiment with clay making. The quality of the pupils work is impressive and proves what an exciting and purposeful project clay making can be. Projects ranging from: patterns; figures; tiles; pots; mugs and food provide plenty of ideas for teaching at Key Stage 2 and 3. A glossary of terms is included as well as a helpful list of suppliers. A recommended resource for Art Teachers and creative parents looking for rainy weekend projects for their children.
