The kids were all set to do their slab pots and figurines, but their instructor wanted them to get their first project, the pinch pot, glazed for its second firing in the kiln.
Amber used three or four colors for her pinch pot basket. Here she is cleaning off her tile.
Evyn made geometric shapes on his soup bowl mug. Notice the dip in the lip? Its a place to put his spoon! Very inventive.
Ian's bowl had a frog climbing out of it. He painted as a red-eyed tree frog. Dumpy is coming to life!
Ethan's bowl mug is in the forefront. Deep red interior. All four are now ready for firing.
Evyn is working on his slab pot/box here. He cut out a shape from a sturdy material an, after rolling out his clay, placed the shape on the clay to cut out around it. His plan is to make a pencil container for the classroom table.
Ethan combined the slab pot project with the figurine project. This is the globe portion, figurine, which will be stuffed with newspaper for drying purposes.
Amber decided to do her slab pot as a butter dish. The instructor gave her a couple molds to use. She rolled out her clay and draped it over the molds. The top was refined later in the lesson and also included a very cute idea for lifting the lid!
Ian designed his box a bit small. He's creating his figurine to go with this project. Next week we should see if his design worked. He was going to make holes in his box, but decided the design elements would be done with glaze instead.
This is Ethan's completed project. His slab pot is the triangular portion on the bottom. It supports his figurine, which is an orb or globe. The top was cut out and will be able to hold things inside. The instructor was impressed with the complexity of the design.
A little peak at Amber's butter dish lid. She is gathering up all the leftover clay to put back in the bag to be kept moist.
A little peek into Ian's creation. Can you figure out what he's making?
Evyn's box. He considered putting it on balls for feet, but decided against it. He also considered putting the balls together to be a snowman. He went with a more simplistic approach to his construction and will do the design details in the glazing.
