Clay Tiles

On Thursday and Friday last week Room 1, along with Rooms 2 and 3) were lucky enough to start off the special clay tile project that the Fernridge School Jubilee committee are doing as part of our celebrations on Queen's Birthday weekend.
We are each making a clay tile with the support of well known local potter Sam Ludden.

Firstly Rooms 1 and 2 got together on Thursday to have a practice with the clay and how we could make patterns and designs into the clay. Below are some photos of Room 1 practicing. When the clay is dry we will paint and varnish the practice tiles before taking them home.

The next stage was working with the "real" tiles. Sam Ludden had pre-made the tiles all ready for us to use. We had to make sure that our tile had our name and room number on it so that in the future we could look up at the design on the wall and see our tile. 

Take a look at everyone being so focused on producing an awesome tile.

What a special part of the school history we will become.

We are all looking forward to seeing the finished result.
