The Arts - Pottery
Pottery is taught as a specialist subject in Years 3, 5 and 6 and Year 4 boys get the chance to choose to it as an extra activity. The Pottery room is a place where boys use clay in a sculptural and imaginative way, using handbuilding, coiling, slabbing and throwing on the potters’ wheel.
The boys explore a variety of themes, both ancient and contemporary, sculptural and functional. They are encouraged to find an individual approach within a given theme, in addition to exploring and developing new skills. They have the chance to work with visiting sculptors and to visit galleries and exhibitions in and around London. The Estorick collection for Italian Art recently described the boys’ work as ‘beautiful and inspiring’.
The boys work is displayed in cabinets around the school all year long, and in the final summer.
