Dialling up the school holiday excitement, Kaiela Arts had children (and parents) making works of art and memories.
As part of Greater Shepparton City Council’s Activities in the Park program, turtle muster on Wednesday, April 19, saw participants on the tools sculpting and moulding.
Clean slates of clay transformed into a sea of ceramic turtles, ready to be displayed at Kaiela Arts during NAIDOC Week.
News photographer Rechelle Zammit was at the Shepparton Art Museum to capture the young artists at work.
Keep in shape: Thomas Mastropasqua, 7, cuts the clay.
