Art teacher Jemma Coulson said youngsters delved into the tactile world of clay. 'With careful hands and imaginative minds, they sculpted delicate, clay flower tealight holders. Each petal, carefully formed, and every base, thoughtfully shaped.' These handmade creations, served as a beautiful testament to their love, and a unique way to brighten mom's special day.

Meanwhile, their tweens channeled their artistic energy into painting stunning mini artworks on rocks. These transformed ordinary stones into miniature canvases which they meticulously brushed with vibrant colours and intricate designs. 'These pocket-sized masterpieces, each one a unique gem, captured their individual artistic flair. The detail and care poured into these tiny artworks made them truly extraordinary,' said Coulson.
Whether is was through the time it took to craft every petal on the clay flower tealight holders, or design the perfect shape and colour on the stunning rock artworks, these artists were focused on making something special for their moms.
'It was awesome seeing them put so much care into these gifts. Proof that the best presents are the ones made with your own hands,' said the art teacher.
