Heraldry and Leaf Prints

Inspired by the rich history of the county

and all the delightful autumn leaves

feathers, cutouts and found objects,

the group made a series of prints on

Carole's portable printing press.

They then designed their own heraldic shields

adding symbols for things that interested them.

On The Tiles

We have been making clay tiles

with artist Carole Miles

we collected  leaves and grasses

and impressed letter stamps

and buttons into the soft, damp clay.

We also drew and dotted!

We used a clay tile cutter to make the tiles 

and left them in the sun to dry.

Carole took them away to be fired

promising to bring them back for us to glaze.
