Brunswick South West Primary School ceramics challenge

At Brunswick Southwest Primary School I worked with years 3/4 students on a ceramics challenge.
Here's what we made.
these works have been built with earthenware handbuilding clay and decorated with liquid underglazes. As yet they are unfired.  They will come out much brighter when fired and glazed.
Well done you fellow artists!

We make and grout mosaics in the space of one day.

Avondale Heights Pre-school Project - Some of the final artworks ready for installation

At Avondale Heights Pre-School we made a ceramic and mosaic project to honour and acknowledge the original owners of the land. The original people who lived in Avondale Heights were the Wurundjeri People of the Kulin Nation. The Wurundjeri people used the natural things they found around them to make their artwork. We have used clay and other earth materials to make the creatures that lived in this place when the Wurundjeri People lived here.The children made the creatures in workshops with Debbie. After being fired in a kiln the creatures were glued to boards and parents filled in the background with mosaic. The mosaics were designed to match the Aboriginal and the Torres Strait Islander Flags. This community made artwork also includes acknowledgement of the Wurundjeri people as the Traditional Custodians of the land, and expresses our respect for all Indigenous Australians. It also celebrates the many animals who lived alongside the Wurrundjeri People in this place. Here are some of the final artworks ready for installation at the new centre!
