Ceramics Studio Field Trip!

Yesterday afternoon I took my art club on a field trip to The Overland Club Ceramics Studio in District 1 where they got to experience the ceramic making process first hand. A lot of them had never worked with clay before so we started with the basics of a coil making and students had a blast. Here are a few pictures from the field trip!

After some instruction students were ready to get started on their projects! They began by making a circular slab for the base and began adding coils.

Once our ceramics pieces were built we were ready to add our glaze

Overland was such a great experience for all of us - it was fun for me too to be able to teach some ceramics as well for the first time in quite a while. Before we even began cleaning up all the students were asking to go back again soon!

Right now, we are just waiting for Overland to fire our pieces so they are finished ceramic pieces. When we get them I will take pictures and share soon!
