If you've been following my blog for a while, you may have noticed that in each grade I attempt to teach a skill in clay building even though the projects may differ from quarter to quarter (for example, 5th graders learn about slab construction- last quarter's boys made lidded boxes and this quarter's boys made mugs). In sixth grade, I want students to create a project using the "pinch" method of clay handbuilding- create a form with pinch pots and small sculptural pinched details... This year, students are making teapots and I haven't changed the project from quarter to quarter because I love how every time is unique and the pieces are getting more and more creative! These are semester three's teapots:

I'm a big fan of teapots. Love these!
ReplyDeleteThese are great! What brand of clear glaze do you use? I haven't found one that performs well enough to use again. What cone do you fire? Thanks for sharing your student work. You are a fabulous teacher and obviously love what you do! Cynthia S.
ReplyDeleteWe apply Duncan Cover-Coat underglazes covered with two coats of Duncan Clear gloss Envision Glaze (IN1001) overglaze to Cone 04 or 06 bisque and then I glaze fire to Cone 06! Results are always beautiful!
