CREATIVE youngsters at a Worcestershire school have been learning all about the relaxing art of pottery.

Pupils at Bowbrook House School, in People-ton, near Pershore, made cats and dogs out of clay as part of an after-school club activity.

Pottery and art teacher Deb Breakwell then stepped in to give their creations an extra professional touch.

Julie Griffiths, school spokeswoman, said: "Ms Breakwell took the students' work home and put them in a kiln. After they had been fired she glazed them with colourful paints.

"It was all the pupils' own work and they are very pleased with how they turned out."
