 | Ceramics II Senior Final
Challenge: For this assignment you will be creating a functional piece using ALL of the three techniques that we have learned throughout your ceramics career here at NHS. You will have the day of the final to create your piece. Your piece should be functional, well crafted and done in a timely manner so that it is complete by the end of the period. You may not make anything that we have done in class this semester or from ceramics I.
Materials that will be provided for you: clay, slip, tools.
Brainstorming:
• What could you make that is functional that we have not made before?
• How will you incorporate all three techniques? (Slab, coil, pinch)
Sketch out 3-4 possible ideas for your piece.
Do I need to bring anything in? Figure out what OTHER materials you might need!
