Ceramics I Class

Had way too much fun the last couple of days with my clay students. The assignment is called Slab Wrap and the students had to thump and drag their highly textured clay slab on the cement outside my room. This process stretches the clay out and exaggerates the textural elements that they've embedded. Then they wrap this piece onto itself to create a cylinder vase form. The finished results are truly amazing and the students are able to make the entire pot in just one class period. You will see the finishe pieces in the next post.
