Clay with Mrs Mallows

Today we made Vincent Van

Gogh inspired clay tiles. We

began our lesson by rolling

out clay into a large

rectangle. We had to

remember to use 2 rulers in

an H shape to keep the clay

the same thickness all the

way across.

After that, we rolled out a

long thin worm of clay

which we made into a

stem. We then created

some additional worm

pieces which we shaped

into petals. We had to use

silt (watered down clay) to

stick the clay pieces onto

the rectangle tile!

Mrs Mallows created this

example Vincent Van Gogh

Sunflower piece for us to

copy.

These are some of our final

clay pieces.

Have another look on this

power point in a couple of

weeks, to see our painted

and fired clay tiles!
