Initial wall art in clay (slab)
Letter G, by Gabriela T.
On to slab construction. Our next project in clay was to make wall art featuring an initial. Students were asked to roll slabs of clay and build a multi-layer wall hanging that features an initial and some sort of pattern. Projects have holes for hanging purposes. Students were given a choice to glaze or paint their finished pieces after they were fired. The best projects were those that were sketched/planned out before proceeding to clay construction, as well as those that were thoughtfully and carefully glazed. Here are 13 of those projects.
