Like most things we do with our kids, it tends to be learn alongside them as we go :) "<em>on running a similar workshop with students?</em>" On a camp is the perfect timing as you already have the students there overnight. Why not email us some images of the results and we can add them into a post (NB it needs student permissions...) I can forward you the form if interested :) Are you planning a practice one on the holidays :) One bit of advice was that the clay survives better if it has been bisque fired first! all the best Pauline O'Brien Hi Liz,

Are you planning a practice one on the holidays :) One bit of advice was that the clay survives better if it has been bisque fired first!

We would love to do pit-firing with them as we have spent much of this term doing "fire pit" activities in preparation for the camp. Could you tell me where I could more information on running a similar workshop with students? We are running a camp next term with our middle school students.

Could you tell me where I could more information on running a similar workshop with students?
