The Team taking photocalls after three days

The Potters mural was completed by the above in the last week of term in June 2002. Under the guidance of muralist Andrew Crummy and several teachers, the students produced a 70 foot mural in just under four days. At first all the students and teachers from Prestonlodge High School did not believe they could produce such a quality mural that would have such an impact.

The theme of the mural was the pottery industry of Prestonpans, all the students had to design a plate based on this rich theme, then in teams of 4 or five under the guidance of a teacher produce a copy of a 'classic' piece of pottery from Prestonpans.

By the end of the week the students had enjoyed themselves and are now eager to do more.

Since then then the mural has attracted regular attention including in the local press and through internet has been appreciated from as far a field as Australia.

The artists signed themselves as the following:

Charlene Frame, Nicola Leishman, Jan, Leanne Lopie, Cassandra Chalmers, Amanda Jane Thomson, Stehpen Kerr, Alex Hodgson, Bob G, Mrs Mercer, Scott Robertson, AG, AS, Ashliegh Young, Lesley Stokes, Alice Meller, Stacey McConnachie, Scott Robertson, Billy, Johnson, Lauren Keller, M S Whalcott, Robyn Smith, Sarah Jane McMullan, Megan Denholm, Debbie Smith, Stacey Steele, ASC, AM, Alastair Sutherland, Michele Bould, Alan Malone, AS, Andrew Crummy and Kate Hunter.
