Clay Owls are flying in fourth

Fourth grade has finished their clay owls and they look awesome!  We started with a slab of clay rolled with our new slab roller purchased with grant money from LEF.  The students then used a needle tool to cut a circle, folded in the sides for wings and the top for the heads/ears attaching with a score and slip technique.  They then used various texture tools to create their unique owl.  After they were fired in the kiln, students used acrylic paint to make their owls even more original.  They are currently hanging in our display cabinet and look right at home.
