1st & 2nd - Clay Birdies

So sweet are these little birds!

We kneaded and rolled our clay. To roll slabs, we use 1/4 inch wooden boards to roll the clay evenly. 

Students cut out half circle templates to trace in their clay. We poked holes for legs and feathers that we added later. 

After firing in the kiln, liquid watercolor was used to add bright color to the birds. 

We used wire, yarn, and pipe cleaners to add legs and feathers.  

Sweet little birds!
