Roman Pottery

Earlier this year, we were fortunate to have the opportunity to work with Kate Malone's pottery company, who were generous to provide us with clay from their studio ( round the corner from us), so that we could create Roman vases.  After studying the styles and patterns of Roman art in our sketchbooks we then spent a whole afternoon making our own. The vases were then sent back to the studio to be dried in their kiln (oven) at temperatures of up to 1000 degrees. They were then glazed and sent back to us and these are the final products which the children took home just before we closed. 

Can you remember your Roman knowledge from the autumn term? If so, try this quiz online: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s03G2gqm7qs
