Young artists were eager to get their hands dirty during a school holiday pottery workshop the Art House.
"The pots the children made will be fired and the children got to visit the kiln shed," said tutor Rei Hendry.
"They asked a lot of very good questions about things like temperature and learned that you can't fire pots in the oven at home."
The 10 young students got extra support from guest tutor Imogen McGuire who is a Year 11 student at Whanganui High School.
"Imogen has been coming to my classes since she was little and she did a wonderful job of sharing her skills with the children."
Some of children also attend regular after school classes at the Art House in London St.
