To wrap up our unit on Fantasy....dragons, castles....we created these Slab Vessels....or Clay Castles (they could choose)....they turned out great...and looked beautiful in the art show!
First we threw a slab...no pounding, just throwing....some of them got it right away and i had to straighten some slabs out....even them out...but for the most part, they did great on their own.
 |
| with our excess clay from trimming the bottom, we created a coil base |
We trimmed the bottom and added textures with found objects....some people created crenels, the open shapes at the top of castles....yes i had to look that up for this project.
 |
| basically, they wrapped the slab/scored and slipped/and attached to coil base... |
 |
| next art class we glazed and then i dipped them in crystal glaze and fired them...they turned out great! |
