Making Activities Project Four for Schools with Ceramics Facilities: Slab portraits, constructions and assemblages Suitable for Key stage 2 and up if making assemblages. Overview Note, Key stage 1 pupils should be able to just do Stage 1 and make a simple mask if working in very small groups. The aim of the project is to make a simple 3 dimensional sculpture. There is a lot of figurative work in the exhibition, and this is a relatively simple way to make a 3 dimensional figurative form that will not be too thick to fire safely. Materials needed Wooden boards / cloths for rolling out on Rolling pins and guide sticks General pottery tools Soft paint brushes Clay Decorating slips or brush on glazes to give colour - optional Glaze, lead free – transparent if over slips
