And seriously... if you want kids to wig out... tell them they are working with clay. The result... an explosion of yells...
So here it is... the final region of the N.C. regions study The Piedmont! We looked Catawba Indian pottery. They have a very simple and elegant style. We recreate vessels using the techniques of the Catawba Indians.
Start with the coil method. Build and layer coils. I gave the students freedom with design (they could add legs, handle or a spout) The students needed to smooth the coils out when they finished building the vessels.
Vocabulary:
Coil
Slab
Score
Slip
