Caddis

Decorate a pen pot with found treasures

A pencil pot children finish themselves, after the caddisfly larva that builds its case from pebbles, sand and shell. The wall is covered in shallow round sockets: glue in beach pebbles, sea glass, beads or shells found on walks and the pot becomes a record of where they have been.
