3S - Art: Making our Ancient Greek inspired pots

Lesson: Art and design

Class: 3S - Mrs Simmons Year: 2023 - 2024

Today we made our Ancient Greek inspired pots with terracotta clay.

We constructed a base then created coils that we layered on top of each other and secured by scoring the surface of each layer and then painting on 'slip' which is a mixture of clay and water that forms a glue. We then smoothed out the sides, some of us added handles and we used clay tools to add some designs in the clay. We now have to wait until later on next week when they're completely dry to paint them.
