Art Foundations students at Nathan Hale High School had a lot of fun with this unit! Our focus was incorporating texture and design into clay, and turning that into a functional vessel.

| The texture featured on these mugs was created from a screen. |
We started by rolling out slabs of clay, and cutting them to the right size. Next, we carefully rolled and pressed different textural pieces into the soft slab. That slab was then formed into a cylinder, scored and slipped together (clay's way of staying attached), and shaped the bottom of the mug into a tripod.
These were dried thoroughly, bisque fired in the kiln, glazed, and then fired one more time.
These were finished the day before Winter Break. We celebrated with hot chocolate-served in our handmade mugs!
