5th grade ceramic bowls

This project has taken longer than expected. A week and a half before winter break I dropped a blender on my toe, broke it AND got 6 stitches. I know.. Who does that?! Anyways... I missed 3 days of school and so we got a bit behind on this project:(. I am really loving them, however.  Most have been fired and ready to glaze. We will finish them after winter break.  

3rd grade ceramic leaves

These turned out amazing! Third graders learned how to use a rolling pin to roll out the clay. They used a leaf template to cut around to make their leaf. The leaf was put into a bowl to dry, taken out and then fired in the kiln. We used glaze to paint them then they were fired again.
