Living near Epping Forest, the children’s fascination for the wooded world around them inspired Into the Forest. Pottery club created a playful, imaginative space for 12 children in Year 1 and 2 to explore with clay and paint their ideas. Having created ownership of their section of forest, they made fantasy trees and speculated about who or what to include among them.
