Kindergarten and First Grade Clay Pinch Pots

Kinders and First grade students worked very hard to create textured pinch pots in time for Mother's Day. The first step was to create clay balls and form them into pinch pots. After this very big step students added textured with different materials and tools. The pots were then taken to Fleming and fired for the first time. Students learned that the kiln reaches temperatures up to 2,000 degrees. The pots were now ready to be glazed. Students were amazed to see how dramatically the colors of glazes changed after they were fired. everyone was excited to see their finished product and wrap it up in homemade wrapping paper.
