Our Latest…Clay Projects

Just before spring break, Georgetown artists carefully wrapped their clay projects and took them home.  Here’s a look at their clay creations!

Firsties learned how to make a pinch pot, glaze it, and finally add a little bead and wire embellishment.

Second graders created cute pinch pot birds.  They learned how to score the clay and add water to attach the eyes and beaks to their birds.  After glazing they added feathers to give their critters lots of personality.

Each year third grade artists learn how to make a coil pot.  They had fun adding a snake to their coil pots!

Fourth graders loved creating their wall pockets, and had big plans to use their projects to hold pencils, notes, and even cell phones!

Fifth graders tried a new project this year – awesome texture plates that sit on little feet.  Their plates are really amazing!

 

New Clay Projects

Third and Fourth Grade G-Town artists are wrapping up their clay projects and are excited to show them off!

Third graders created coil pots and turned them into bird nests by squeezing clay through a garlic press; they loved creating the squiggly looking nest tops.

They created colorful birds, eggs, and baby birds using Model Magic.  What child doesn’t love a nest full of birds?!

Fourth Graders created fun little face pinch pots, and added awesome felt hats.  Each pinch pot has such character – every one of them makes me smile!
