Clay container project

Clay Container Project

(Under construction – old and in need of a reno…)

 

We have practised the Pinch, Coil and Slab techniques of working with clay.  Now lets see what we can do!

In this project, you are asked to make a container, any shape, theme or look you want.  My only recommendation is that you have a starting point, i.e. a castle tower, a lighthouse, a human are, an elephant’s trunk…

 

I usually would put pictures below… but instead I want you to draw 6 things that you think could be made into towers

 

Thank you!

For this project, you should try and make the most interesting and exciting container possible!
