THIS WEEK: Please complete your beyond-the-border project and bring it to class to share. Prepping for our next project...
We will be doing clay sculptures next week. You will have enough clay to make something the size of a mug with some extra clay for embellishments. The goal for the project is to come up with a cool sculpture that is also functional in some way (it will not be food-safe.) Ideas from past years are jewelry plates, pencil holders, candle holders/luminaries, planters, shaker/maraca, magnets, fairy house luminary. Think about how to take a simple object and make it interesting, like a dragon candleholder, or a flower shaped plate. We will paint and seal them the following week. You may want to research and sketch your ideas.
