This is a castle that was made by my eldest grandchild, Beth, who is 6. She drew it out on paper first and wanted a Tower type of castle like Rapunzel's.
She pressed out a base to put the castle on, then rolled out some clay into a slab and wrapped it round a tube. She went on to make the turret, doors, windows and balcony which took her ages.
She left it to dry a bit (had dinner) and then went back to it to make the roof. Once again she paid particular attention to getting the patterns on the roof - must have taken her fifteen minutes....
I had to glaze it for her as she went home before the firings.
These are the two pig money boxes that my grandchildren made. The one on the left is Beth's - the one on the right is Catherine's - she is only 2 and needed some help....
