1st Grade Pinch Pots

1st Graders have finished their pinch pots and they look beautiful!  Students learned how to impress designs into the sides of the walls with textured beads and other tools.  They also learned about glaze and its purpose on ceramic objects.  They were delighted to see their dull glaze "paint" turn into glossy bright colors after being fired again in the the kiln. 
   
                                   









First Graders are learning about clay and are creating pinch pots.  They are also designing the
pinch pots with clay tools and other objects to add texture and pattern on sides of the pinch pot.
After they are fired in our kiln students will learn about the glazing process!
