This complete Clay Whistle Teaching Pack provides everything needed to teach a 7-lesson air-dry clay ceramics project for KS3, KS4 and GCSE Art & Design. Designed specifically for classrooms without kiln access, the bundle combines lesson planning, practical activities, student workbooks, assessment materials and classroom resources into one ready-to-teach package.

The unit takes students through the complete creative process, from cultural research and whistle design to construction, painting, evaluation and presentation. Alongside developing practical ceramics skills, students document their learning through structured planning and reflection, providing valuable evidence of their creative process.

This air-dry clay version includes curriculum links for the UK, Australia and New Zealand.
