The Language of Clay

A few weeks back while we made a plan for birthday celebrations, 

one of the children said that we would need to create something to 

hold the birthday flowers. We manipulated the clay to create bowls for 

the flowers. 

Children created a hole and pinched around the clay to 

create their bowls. 

We talked about why we needed water to keep the clay from 

drying out. 

Other children used wire to create designs on their bowls. 

                         Bowls for the flowers

                     We will be painting and firing in the kiln this week.
