Art Homework Club

Pupils in Year 6 studied the work of Barbara Hepworth.  They decided to focus on her famous  sculpture

'The Family of Man'.  The pupils created their own design on paper and then made miniature models with clay.  Their clay models were fired in a kiln, glazed with colour, dipped in a finishing glaze and then once again fired in the kiln.
