Fairy Castles

How To:

Level 5

Before creating their Fairytale Castles, the year 8 students explored the idea of ‘castle’. Their inspiration was varied – from medieval fortresses to Russian Orthodox churches, from Disneyland to the Eureka Stockade.

The girls explored the plastic qualities of clay as they rolled slabs and worked with coils. They incised and impressed details. They added colour to enhance the level of reality/unreality of their architectural masterpiece.
