12. Hand building techniques Slab- rolling out clay in a flat, even “sheet” of clay and letting it become rigid before you construct the form by connecting pieces

13. Coil construction Rolling out stips of clay and stacking the clay before smoothing out the surface.

14. Pinch technique Roll the claybody into a ball, insert thumb into top and rotate around form- pinching the sides to create the vessel.

15. Drape Mold Technique Roll out a slab of clay, and while claybody is still wet, drape over form and work the clay body to evenly drape over mold and take on desired form.

16. Vocabulary Bisque ware - a greenware piece of pottery that has been fired 1 time at a high temperature and is porous and unglazed. Green ware- Bone dry state of clay when all the moisture is evaporated out of the clay before firing. (MOST FRAGILE STATE!!!!!!!!!) Leather Hard- moist but no longer pliable clay body. Score - to make shallow cuts into the surface of the clay before painting with slip and joining to another piece of clay.

17. Vocabulary Slip - creamy mixture of clay and water used to fasten two pieces of clay after both pieces have been scored. Glaze- coating of finely ground minerals that are fired to form a glassy coating on finished ceramics. Vitrification -Fired clay that has fused together completely, so that the pores between refractory particles are filled with glass and the body is impervious to water.

18. Vocabulary Slaking -The process of returning dry unfired clay to a slip by soaking in water. plasticity -how flexible moist clay is.

Earthenware -Low-fired ware, usually still porous after firing—must be sealed with vitreous glaze to be functional.

20. Ceramic Wall Pockets RUBRIC: 20pts-Meets Criteria 10-functional wall pocket/slab construction. 10-sculpted facial form 20ptsCraftsmanship 10-structurally sound(form supports itself hanging on display/facial construction /sound features correctly slipped and scored/min. amount of cracking and surface imperfections) 10-properly glazed or painted and sealed. 20pts-Creativity 10-unique ideas 10-complexity of design ______/50 TOTAL Students created a functional ceramic wall pocket by using slab building techniques. We learned how wall pockets became a popular art form during the 1600’s in Europe. As part of the unit, we also learned the proportions of the human face and how to build these features in the clay medium. They could finish the piece either by glazing to make it waterproof, or by painting and sealing with an acrylic sealer.
