Cups and Animals


For the past two days, we have been working on ceramic cups as well as animals. To make the cups, we started off creating pinch pots. After learning about the techniques of slipping and scoring, as well as coil, slab and pinching, we added a variety of handles to the cups. They are now drying and will be ready for the kiln soon.


Yesterday we started making animals that we will finish up today. As the skill of making pinch pots had already been practiced, the students made two pinch pots and attached them to make a hollow body, and then began to add heads, legs, feet, etc. depending on the shape of their chosen animal. I think they are turning out great!
