Clay Weaving

Students in Grade 5 and 6 molded clay into different shapes and sizes. They cut out a circle in the middle of these sculptures and created small holes around this. Patterns were marked in their clay and the artwork was fired in the kiln. 

Once this was completed, the students used water colour oil pastels to brighten the artwork by applying and using a small paint brush dipped in water to evenly cover the piece. Once dry, the weaving was completed by creating a loom using the small holes (looking similar to a spider web). Wool was then weaved using the under and over technique. The final pieces show fabulous, eye catching designs and uniquely presented work!
