Kindergarten and First grade students were delighted to make their first clay project of the year. Ms. Christman, our wonderful student teacher taught the students about impressed texture. The students chose real leaves that they pressed into clay slabs. After pressing the veins of the leaf into the clay students then traced the outline of the leaf and cut away the extra clay. The next step was to smooth the edges and let it dry for a week before firing it. The next class was very exciting as students learned about ceramic glazes and got to choose and paint the leaves with the glaze of their choice.
