Making a Face Mask Form

Making a clay drape mold of a face to use as a press mold for many copies of the same face. 

1.  Roll an even slab.

2.  Lay on the table or floor and have a friend (or the teacher) press the slab over your face. 

Don't forget breathing holes.

3.  After the clay has taken the form you want, build up with rings of clay to keep the clay from collapsing when you flip it onto a bat.

Fun and just a little scary!

4.  Sit up and bend over so the clay releases off your face.

It's not an exact replica, and not as detailed as a plaster mask, but after being fired in the kiln will be useful for press mold copies.

Stacking Fruit Bowls by A. S. -honorable mention

Some teapots to celebrate the Friday of Homecoming week!  Students had to use multiple techniques to create a teapot.  Techniques used are the wheel, slabs (with our new slab roller), and pulled handles. 

The top picture is K. S. and she used a repeating "X" pattern to lead the viewers eye across the surface of the pot.

Middle picture in M. H. knocking it out on the potters wheel.
