Students enjoyed the long, but rewarding, experience of creating these lovely art pieces. The first step was taking the natural earthen clay and forming the three sections around a wooden doweling. They pinched out a ‘carrot’ nose. They used more clay to create hats. After the clay dried out (about a week) the pieces were fired into bisque. The bisque was then glazed. The snow people were glazed white with the noses made orange. Students were able to choose different colours for their hats. The hats were glazed on top of their snow people. When everything was out of the kiln students added twigs (for arms). They also created felt scarves. Google eyes, pom poms, and the scarves were hot glue gunned on and the snow people were complete.
