Tūhura | Explore
Students will explore communal taonga that have been collected over many decades by the Ashburton Council. We look at how and why artworks are considered precious, and get inspired by these beautiful pieces.

Ako | Learn
In collaboration with the Hakatere Ceramic Studios, students can design and create their own pottery pieces, learning about the properties of clay and the process and history of glazing and firing along the way.

Years 0-8: Students create a vessel based around an animal of their choice, after looking at a range of ceramic pieces.
