Sneak Peak of our Clay!

I didn't want to make a complete post of our clay projects until they're fired and painted, but I couldn't wait to post the pictures. So here is a little sneak peek! 

For both projects we talked about the basics of clay. I was surprised about how much they knew!!   

• Clay comes from the ground
• Clay is called Greenware until fired
• After it is fired, it is called Bisque
• To fire it, we put it in a big oven called the Kiln
• 3 techniques we use to build with clay are called slab, coil, and pinching 
• To attach clay to other clay we use scoring (little hatch marks) and slip (water and clay mixture)

 Coil vessels!

 And Cupcake containers!
