Animal Sculptures

Yesterday and today we worked on animal sculptures. Using the skills that we learned during our first project, the students started off making two small pinch pots. They then combined them using scoring and slipping to make a hollow body, and make holes in those to attach arms, legs, heads, etc. Each student was encouraged to make their animal personalized.

I think that the students were able to be creative during this process, but have enough direction to push them in the right direction. The animals turned out really cool, and hopefully we will be able to fire and glaze them soon!
