Students enjoy ceramics workshop
Fine Art students from Gower College Swansea have enjoyed a clay workshop with Eluned Glyn, a Welsh ceramic designer whose inspiration comes from the classic forms of the 20th and 21st centuries.
The workshop was an opportunity for students to create sculptures by coiling and slabbing clay and creating shapes by molding with slip.
The students made a range of clay pieces that can support and form new ideas for future projects. They also had an invaluable opportunity to experience and visually engage with the work of a professional working in today’s ceramic industry.

How green is my valley?
International Students got together to take in the great views of the Garw Valley during their half term visit to Bryngarw Country Park.
They enjoyed exploring the woodland paths and having fun in the play area - especially going down its gigantic slide.
Afterwards the group spent time at McArthurGlen Shopping Centre, grabbing a bite to eat and stocking up on their favourite goods.
Once again the sun shone brightly and some of the students said they couldn’t believe just how green the Welsh countryside is.
