This week we made ceramic bowls. The first step in making them was to roll out a slab of clay in a slab roller. We used the big slab roller to make sure that the clay was an even thickness. After the clay was rolled out we shaped it over a plastic bowl and began decorating. Mr. Sand's theme was "organic" so I chose to use some curved shapes and lines with dots to give it a distinctive look. I tried to slip and score some added clay pieces, but left them out because they were too thin and weak. After we finished constructing the bowl we let them dry and put them in the kiln. Once they were fired we topped them off with glaze to give each bowl a neat and shiny look. They went to the kiln again today.
