The 4th grade has started to create clay pinch pots. Each student is given a ball of clay, which they will pinch into a bowl. Students will also add a "pedestal" or support to the bottom of their bowl by scratching and attaching. Making the pinch pot will only take one art time. After the pinch pots dry for a week, I put them in the kiln for the first firing called a bisque fire. Once students get their pots back they glaze their bowl. This also takes will take one art time. After the first firing, we apply the glaze and I fire the bowls one more time so the glaze turns into a glass coating. |

Very good comment. The other day I used to be educated about this website and wanted to let you realize that I have been pleased, through his messages. I'll be signing up to feed blog and is expected next post.
