​Mugs and Bowls

Mugs and bowls were made using pinch pots with special attention to surface decoration.

​Slab Containers

Slab method was used here to create containers with lids.  Students personalized them and experimented with glazes.

​Wheel Thrown Project

Students learned the fundamentals of the pottery wheel.  They learned how to center the clay, throw the clay to make a shape, and then foot the bottom.  Some chose to make a mug or a vase.  It was there first time on the wheel and they really enjoyed themselves.

​Throwing on the Wheel

Students learned how to throw a cylinder on the pottery wheel.  They made these cylinders into coffee mugs.

Pop Art Clay Portraits

Students rolled out slabs of clay, traced, then carved their chosen portraits onto the piece.  Glaze was added to give a Pop Art effect.

​Coil Jugs-Pitchers

Students used the coil method to construct a jug/pitcher exposing the coils.

​Clay Teapots

Students used the pinch pot method to create a teapot.  They joined two pinch pots together; created a spout, a lid, and a foot on the bottom.  They decorated them with glaze.

​Fairy Tales, Fables, Nursery Rhymes, and Folklore

Students re-created their favorite character building them out of clay and glazing them.

Pumpkin Luminaries

Students learned how to create two pinch pots and join them together to create a pumpkin.  Next they used carving tools to create designs or Jack O' Lanterns so light can be illuminated through, using a candle.


Kiln Gods

Kiln Gods are meant to guard against any kind of bad luck that might happen during the firing of ceramic pieces.  Students created these creatures/animals out of clay.  They learned about scoring and slipping to attach pieces.  They also learned how to use their hands and tools to create texture.  Color was added with metallic watercolor.
