Pottery - Our favourite lesson of the term! This week we've made clay snowmen. A bit early for Christmas, but by the time I get them dried, fired and back to the schools for painting it will be close to the end of term.
We started with a pinch pot base, then joined on a solid head and added coil scarf, hat and nose before using a skewer to add facial features.
The last step was the brain surgery, necessary to allow air into the solid head for even drying.
A great project for practising our score and slip joining.... it will be interesting to see how many come back from the firing with all the bits still in place :)
