Lidded Slab Pot
by Jeff Mori
Students made lidded pots by rolling out slabs on our slab roller. They
cut the slab to a desired shape which became the bottom, then wrapped
another slab around this shape to create walls. They made a lid the same
shape as the bottom and then connected all the pieces. They added lots
of texture. After the pots were bisque fired students used high fire. |
Pueblo Style Coil Pot
by
Joris Van Lith
Students learned about Native American Pueblo Pottery and then made
pots in the same style. Traditionally these pots were decorated with
colored minerals ground to a fine stain and brushed on with Yuka plants.
We used colored clay slips and paint brushes to decorate our pots. |
Pueblo Style Coil Pot
Students made these coil pots by rolling out thick coils and
stacking them on top of each other. The shapes were created by placing
the coils on the inside or outside of the coil underneath. They painted
a variety of cultural designs and patterns inspired by books and their
imaginations. |
