| Working with clay provides young children with a
wide range of experiences – tactile, creative, educational and
pleasurable. The
responsibility for ensuring that children get the most out of this work
rests with the teacher. However,
the teacher does not always have the necessary knowledge or experience to
use clay to advantage. In
this book, Peter Clough discusses the basics necessary for successfully
working with clay in school. He
covers the types of clays, storage, building techniques and firing –
with and without a kiln. He
also points out how the use of clay can be related to various curriculum
topics. To show what
can be achieved, the book is illustrated with examples of the work of
primary school children. |

| Kids will happily dig into the soft, malleable
medium, exploring its possibilities. They’ll break the clay apart,
rejoin it with water, try to model it into recognizable shapes, and cut
out great big slabs to design. Pictures of professional sculptures, as
well as objects created by kids, fill the book. Children will think it’s
playtime—you don’t have to tell them they’re learning, too. |

|
Creating with clay is a rewarding process within the
reach of anyone, despite limitations based on experience or ability.
Clair Botterill, an experienced teacher and therapist, creates a
program of eight projects, ascending in difficulty as the student gains
skill and confidence. She
provides introductory chapters on types of clay, tools and techniques, and
kilns, before leading the reader through the tutorials.
With each piece, Botterill takes the student through the process of
acquiring materials and tools, explains suitable techniques, supplies
templates, plans steps, and shows finished artwork.
Photographs of each step of the projects are included, along with
an initial list of tools and supplies and an introduction giving
information on the skill level required, as well as recipes for slips and
glazes where required. A
useful list of pottery supplies provides further resources. This is a
practical book for physiotherapists, teachers, and all who work with
people who have specials needs. |
