About this School Project (1st Grade - Clay Turtles)
1st graders used 'real' clay and glaze to make these cute turtles. They learned how to score, slip and press to attach all the little turtle parts. Then, they learned how to layer glaze and wait for the surprising effect post-firing. As art history inspiration, we observed Fijian kava bowls shaped like turtles used in traditional ceremonies.
