Clay Face Mugs- 3rd grade

2013-02-18 01.32.46

Making clay mugs with 3rd graders..

This is a great lesson that can be adaptable to pretty much any age.  I’ve taught this project with middle school students and had very successful results.  This is the youngest I’ve taught the clay face vase project and I think they did a very good job!

Clay techniques used:

  • rolling slabs and using a straight edge to cut a clay rectangle
  • tracing a cutting a clay circle for the base
  • forming facial features with slabs, coils and pinching
  • adhering parts by scoring and applying slip
  • rolling a coil for a handle
  • glazing
