Session 1 Glazes Clay Animal Banks


Art Club Session 1 Clay Animal Banks: Glazing

Art Club Members patiently waited for their clay banks to come out of the kiln. Their clay animals are now white and called Bisqueware: permanently hard pottery. This week they used colorful glazes (glaze is made out of glass, water and minerals) to paint their animals. Their projects will be fired in the kiln again to melt the glass and make a shiny finish. Check out the progress and hard work in the photographs below.

Painting glaze on their animals...

 


The clay animals await their firing in the kiln. Their color is dull and chalky, but not for long...

TADA... The finished animals with a happy shine.
