This mosaic was designed by the parents and the pre-school teacher with the artist. They wanted their logo of two children in the centre and then a scene around this which included a rainbow. The rainbow is filled with clay hands made by the four-year-olds.

The pre-school children also helped to make two pavers. The artist placed glue on a section of the paver and the children then arranged the small tiles onto the paver. This was done in a space next to where the artist was making the mosaic so that the children could make a link between what the artist was making and how it was done. They were pleased that they had also made a mosaic.

The children also participated in a clay workshop where they made parts of trees by rolling out clay and pressing objects into the clay to make textures. They also added colour to the clay using underglazes.


There were evening workshops held where parents and children came to the pre-school and made clay insects to be part of the mosaic.
