A while ago grade 6 practiced working with coils! I keep forgetting to post about it. Our current unit is all about using ceramics to express ourselves. We discussed different artist to see how they handled coils. The works below were especially inspiring to the students.

Everyone got to work very quickly after a brief demonstration on how to score & slip and roll even coils. The only instruction I gave them was to build as big as they could in two lesson periods.

I love all the different approaches students took to building with coils. These lessons are really about experimenting and getting familiar with clay and different building techniques.

I’ll post the final results soon!
