Last week I joined the staff meeting at the Rudolf Steiner School at Kuranda.  We spent two hours discussing and trying out a range of possibilities for using clay in the classroom.

Each teacher produced something sculptural, appropriate to the level of the students they teach. We looked at a range of approaches to hand building, and a lot of information about clay and what works and what doesn't work in the classroom.

They were a fantastic and creative bunch to work with and some of the sculptural results in our short session were fabulous.

With the support of Cairns Regional Gallery, I was able to run a children's Easter screen printing workshop.

We cut paper stencils with the help of some adult volunteers and printed onto calico bags.

The results looked great, and the kids were fantastic. It was a lot to pack into two hours, but everyone eventually went home with a super result.
