Clay Leaf Bowls


Clay Leaf Bowl
3rd Grade

I did this lesson after I had done the "Leaf Movement" lesson.  I did this lesson to show students how leaves can move in other ways like curling up as the dry.

Step 1.  Have leaf outlines printed off and hand out to students.
Step 2.  Hand out clay.
Step 3.  Roll out clay.
Step 4.  Use the leaf outline as a stencil on the clay.
Step 5.  Curl up edges (can place around the bottom of a bowl to help).
Step 6.  Allow dry time (about a week).
Step 7.  Fire in kiln.
Step 8.  Glaze with desired colors.
Step 9.  Fire in kiln, again.
