Halima Cassell has just finished her 3rd session with a group of young people from a local school, producing ceramic panels this afternoon here at Action Factory.

Twenty students came and spent time with the artist, learning techniques, styles and inspiration before trying out their new knowledge on the clay,  by carving intricate patterns into the rolled clay. Halima is working with different groups and will create a final piece bringing all the different groups panels together which will be shown in Blackburn Museum and Art Gallery in January 2013.

Here are some of the carved clay examples
