As part of Art and Technology, some of our class attended a pottery lesson at the Marlborough Pottery Club. We had a go on the potters wheel and learned a lot from Kevin Black, who was full of knowledge. We also took some of our own pottery pieces, ready for firing in the kiln and look forward to picking them up and painting them.
