House tiles
This Art and design video supports teachers in guiding learners through the final making stage of their clay house tiles. Using their design drawings for reference, children apply key skills—rolling, shaping, joining, and pressing—to bring their clay house designs to life. The video encourages learners to use a variety of tools and textures while being flexible and reflective as their ideas evolve in the making process.
This video is part of Kapow’s Art and design resources, which support the Cambridge Primary Art & Design framework. It helps teachers feel confident supporting learners through a complete sculptural process, from planning to creation. As part of the Sculpture and 3D: Clay houses unit, this lesson encourages children to combine technical skill with creativity as they produce finished clay tiles inspired by their own designs.
