CERAMIC CLAY PROJECTS
1. Ceramic Piggy-Banks
Whether students want to make a piggy bank or just a small sculpture, this pinch-pot unit can easily be taught as an introduction to working with ceramic clay to Middle School or High School Students.
2. Soft Boxes
Soft boxes are the easiest kinds of ceramic containers to make with clay slabs.
Follow the video below to learn how to make them.
4. Mad Teapots
My students at Seoul Foreign School constructed “mad Teapots” in order to have a mad tea-party. The event included poetry readings from the Language arts students and music from the SFS student orchestra.
To make your own “mad tea-pot, follow the instructions in the video below.
5. Life Masks
Students can choose to use someone else’s face, or their own. Having plaster put on one’s face can feel claustrophobic. Alternatively, plaster gauze can be used. (see photo below)
See video for full instructions.
Students hand-build a headress on face cast from a plaster mould.
