Clay Tiles
5th graders were given a slab of clay (that was lightly covered for a day or two to firm up). They cut their slabs into a tile. They drew their design on the clay with a pencil or sharpened wooden tool, then carved their design with various clay tools. Once they finished, they put them up to dry. After fired, they glazed with various colors. We fired again. Some students added metallic paint for finishing touches.
