Here are some examples of the FINISHED whistles. 
They have all been fired twice. Once to bisque fire- or turn the clay into hardended clay.

Kluender A2 Art 6

Art 6 students have been so excited working on building their maneki neko sculptures!
They started with two spheres that they made into pinch pots. The pinch pots were attached using the score, slip and seal method to create a hollow body.

Then, they added arms, legs, ears, tails, etc.

Some added texture using tools and stamps.

We have to let them dry before we fire them in the kiln. We dont want any moisture or air bubbles trapped in our projects! That would be BAD NEWS!

Studio Time!

Students can come in to work during FLEX with a presigned pass from Mrs. Kluender or Ms. Czaplicki :)
