Clay Artist-in-Residence Amelia Butcher

January 24 and 31, 2023 OR January 27 and February 3, 2023

This winter grade 7 students had the privilege of working with Amelia Butcher. They made clay tiles inspired by the exhibition in the gallery Paths. The tiles illustrate the natural world and the varying types of paths that we see around us.
