What is clay? What are some of the properties of clay?
This week we learned three basic hand-building techniques in class: coil, slab, and pinch. Your assignment in class is to use one or more of these new hand-building techniques to create pottery. Be inventive and creative with the tools available to you. Add your own flare!
Things to watch out for:
drying and cracking...add water!
uneven thickness...do you remember why this is important?
craftsmanship (watch your edges and lumps)
aesthetics...is your work pleasing to the eye? interesting? engaging?
**Extra Credit Opportunity: Find out more about the origins of clay and how it came into existence for 5 e.c. points.
Due dates: April 15 Grid Portraits are due with rubric!
