Ceramic Goblets

In 7th grade I finally see these kids everyday in a row for a few weeks instead of only once a week.  So this is when I like to do a coil project since they will be able to save it and work on it for a few days. 

I found this goblet project on a ceramics website.  I liked the idea of both the coil pot and the pinchpot combined to made one piece.  If they really wanted to they could drink out of the goblet one day and flip it upside down the next to store their pencils.

Unique Birdhouses

I wanted my painting/sculpture class to creat a clay project.  Since afterall clay is a sculpture material it only made since.   So before Christmas break I told my Painting/Sculpture class that when we came back from break we were going to create ceramic birdhouses.  I of course had a few requirements.
1.  It had to be UNIQUE.  Something that you would never think of for a birdhouse.
2.  It did not have to be functioning, but it did have to be hollow and have a bway for the hypothetical bird to get into the non-functioning house.
3.  It needed to be about minimum of 8 inches.
4.  It needed to be made out of clay. 

With those being the only requirements here are some of the final results.  Overall they have been very creative.  Here are a few on the best examples that are done.  I will add a few more pictures when the rest get done.

 I am not sure you would be able to convince birds to live in some of these even if they were good sized.
