Spring Sculpures

In case you didn't know, I love working with clay, and have yet to meet a student who doesn't! Having had Easter and Spring just around the corner I felt a clay project was in order. The younger grades focused on texture, patterns, and color in their Easter egg spoon rests.

So many fun textures to press into clay!
And here are the finished products!

A few students made flowers and they are beautiful!

Grades 4-5 learned how to "score" their clay to help clay pieces adhere to each other, and focused on a pinch pot/coil union. I have yet to see a birds nest dish that hasn't looked amazing. They ROCKED their coils!

 

There is something relaxing about rolling coils...

Here, Mayra, Abigail, and Daniel focus intently on getting glaze in every nook and cranny!

This is kind of a fun comparison of how the colors change before and after the glaze is cooked in the kiln.

So many happy little nests!

It's official-Spring is finally upon us!!!
