Fifth Graders this year created pinch pot monsters out of Terra Cotta clay. First the students created a pinch pot, then using the scratch and attach method, added details such as eyes, ears, teeth, tongues, horns, wings, etc. Finally, after they were dried and fired in the kiln, we used tempera paint to add color to the details. I encouraged students to leave some of the clay showing. (They are shown here before the painting.)
