As part of the Seniors Festival, Shepparton Access ran Flock of Ages - a pottery bird making workshop held on Tuesday October 17, where participants had a go at creating their own clay bird.

The goal of the activity was to encourage friendships and fun times between Shepparton Access participants and the community.

News photographer Rechelle Zammit went along to check out the pieces of work.

Here’s what she captured.
