Description

This high or middle school art clay project introduces students to throwing on the pottery wheel as well as raku firing. There are so many fun aspects to working with clay, but including the excitement of a raku fire demo adds buy-in for students. Instructions for how to set up and run a raku kiln are also included for the teacher, no knowledge is required!

In this lesson, students learn how to work on the pottery wheel, center, pull up walls, trim, and decorate. They create one mug, one bowl, and one shape of their choice. The mug and bowl are glazed with food-safe glazes to look like a set, and the free form is raku fired.

Included in this lesson plan are:

➢Lesson Plan with big idea, essential questions, national standards, step by step instructions, vocabulary, and supply list

➢3 PowerPoints: Pottery Wheel How To, Trimming, and Raku Glazing PowerPoints

➢Pottery wheel how-to video

➢Raku Firing Instructions and How-To

➢Wedging check-off
