Creating with clay!
Mango Class have been squashing, squeezing and manipulating clay to create our own Sherwood Forest. We took inspiration from the artist Barbara Hepworth and the large scale sculptures that she has created.
We had to make sure that any joins in the clay were thoroughly smoothed over to prevent the tree branches from snapping. Some children added texture to mimic bark using tools, others created knots of wood and holes for animals.
Once the clay had been left to dry, we displayed our amazing models as part of the Spring Term art show.
