Clay Monster Crew

What would happen if you combined the ears of a horse with the scales of a fish? Maybe adding a spotty tongue and bloodshot eyes?

Students will be inspired through the combining of different animal features to create the most original clay monster that their imaginations can conceive. Working with the clay tools in their hands, students will begin with a classic clay technique of pinch pot construction then through exploration of various shaping and decorating techniques they will turn their clay pot into something scarily special. This lesson gives a great introduction to clay, teaching the full process from soft clay to a fired and glazed artwork.
