Making Clay Bowls Part 1: Slab Rolling, Slump/Hump Molds & Foot Rings

Our second annual EMPTY BOWLS DINNER & FUNDRAISER will be held on 
Friday, March 24, 2017, 530-8pm
in the HS Cafeterias

Last week Clay students watched Ms. Held demonstrate how to roll slabs and then lay these slabs of clay onto the hump or into the slump mold of the bowl of their choice. She then demonstrated how to add a foot ring (or stand) to bottom on the bowls to give them a more professional look. Below are some photographs of students rolling slabs, fitting their clay slabs onto their molds and then adding foot rings. The bowls will need to dry out a bit, so the clay becomes leather hard and able to hold its bowl shape once the mold is removed. This week students will begin adding our food inspired imagery to the interior and exterior of our bowls. 

The Food-Inspired Bowl construction is due on:
11/8 for B day students & 
11/9 for G day students.
