A TOP ceramic artist shared her expertise with pupils at Cundall Manor School.

Jill Ford held a a uniquely rural masterclass in ceramic art at the school near Ripon and helped students create models of iconic Highland cattle.

Head of art at the school, Sarah Pearson, said: “It was wonderful to welcome Jill to Cundall.

“Our older pupils have previously visited her workshop and seen her in action, so it was a wonderful opportunity for the rest of our pupils to benefit from Jill’s expertise.

“We have a lot of rural families at our school and the children loved attempting to replicate the Highland cattle’s famous coat in clay.”
