This is the first of a series of publications designed to be used as teaching or learning aids to be used by teachers to develop clay modelling skills themselves or as classroom projects to develop pupil's clay modelling skills. The models are based on years of experience teaching in nursery and primary education and with groups of adults and children with special educational needs. Each book contains several practical projects, demonstrated in a step by step manner enabling you to create the models shown on the cover.

The book contains details of six practical projects each one described in a step by step easy to follow manner, simple basic shapes are used as building blocks in the creation of each model. Models in this publication have been developed over years of teaching practical, hands-on pottery to school children, adults and students with special educational needs. Basic pottery skills are embodied in the designs and the upright nature of the figures leads to self expression from students who can decorate the figures as imaginary people, adding hats, aprons scarves and even sport shirts.
