4th graders made some incredible clay projects this year. They have conquered the art of coil pots!
 |
| We began with modeling clay. This allowed us to gain experience with coil making and using the coils in creative ways. Practice makes perfect! |
 |
| Next came the real thing! |
 |
| Students created a sturdy, spiraled base of coils. |
 |
| Then added more coils on top to make the pot taller. You have to slip and score the coils together to make sure they don't come apart when they dry. |
 |
| Once the bottom of the pot was built, students were able to get creative! |
 |
| Each pot is unique! |
 |
| When the pots were completed, they went into the kiln to fire. We then painted them with black tempera paint and added colorful oil pastel on top. |
