On Wednesday, April 24th Divisions 1 and 5 got together to spend a fun afternoon making clay ‘pinch pots’.\u00a0 Students took their slab of clay and formed it into a ball about the size of a baseball.\u00a0 They then pushed one thumb down into the middle of the ball.\u00a0 Using their thumb and fore-fingers they pinched around in a circle to create a well in the middle.\u00a0 Students were instructed to ensure an even thickness on the sides of the pots and that there were no cracks in the clay.\u00a0 They learned that a little water goes a long way with clay – too much will end up with a dissolved ‘cookie’.<\/p>\n

Once students had created their ‘pots’ they used the ‘scratch and attach’ technique to change their pots into the animal of their choice.\u00a0 These are currently drying and will be fired in the school kiln later this week.\u00a0 Once the clay has had its first firing students will use tempera disc\u00a0paints to add colour.\u00a0 These will then be coated with acrylic medium to seal them and make them shine.
