Clay Tree

For the schools' 60th anniversary, the Art dept. made a clay leaf for each pupil in the school at the time. The leaves were bisque fired after which pupils painted their names on individual leaves in under glaze. They were then re-fired. As you can imagine, this process has taken the best part of a year. Last year the "clay tree" was assembled. In the mean time, here are some images of the project in progress.
