6/7/8 Begin Empty Bowls

 Working with coils

 Kneading

A slab for a base

Working with a slab
Scoring and slipping pieces together
A complete scene on the lid

A flower bowl

A leaf theme

A monster!

A candy dish with sculpted confections

A fisherman poised on the edge




An 8th grader instructing another on centering clay

 Glazing

A really tall creation

All students in K-8 will work on a clay bowl for our Empty Bowls event later this fall. The middle school students got their clay and began kneading it to make sure there were no air pockets before they began their hand built design. Middle schoolers also have an opportunity to work on one of our wheels. Each student will build one hand built bowl and one thrown on the wheel. They'll design and decorate them and then add glaze.
