Week of March 3-7
Monday 3/3 & Tuesday 3/4
Students will continue working on their nature inspired clay vessel. Using hand building techniques they learned in the last class, students will use coil, slab, and score, slip, and join to create a functional piece. Vessels should also have an inward and outward curve.
Wednesday 3/5 & Thursday 3/6
Students will continue working on their nature inspired clay vessel. Using hand building techniques they learned in class, students will use coil, slab, and score, slip, and join to create a functional piece. Vessels should also have an inward and outward curve. The basic form of the vessel should be close to being finished by the end of class.

Tuesday 3/11 & Wednesday 3/12
Students will view a demo on how to add texture to the surface of their clay vessel using various techniques. With the rest of class, students will add texture to the surface of their vessel based on their chosen theme.
Thursday 3/13
Vessel construction complete by the end of class
Students will complete their clay vessels in class today. Vessels should be inspired by nature, have an outward and inward curve, demonstrate texture, and demonstrate different hand building techniques. Vessels should be left out to dry at the end of class today. Mr. Lamp and Mrs. Bjork will begin to bisque fire vessels in two weeks.
