Exploratory Ceramic Whistles Part 2
I had so many lovely examples that I had to show them all off!
A perky puppy!
A lion!
A plucky beaver!
A grizzly bear!
My room sometimes feels like a zoo, but today it really looked like a zoo!
Exploratory Ceramic Whistles
Here is a look inside our kiln, as I'm unloading. Each time I unload the kiln it's like a little surprise for me! How will the piece have turned out? Will they all be successful?
It makes me very happy to see a kiln with no broken pieces laying on the ground. That means we had no explosions or breakage! Woop!
Each of these piece has been carved out to be a whistle. Students could make an animal, insect or fantasy animal. Above we have a lovely Pegasuses.
Here we have a walrus, look at those great fat wrinkles!
This chubby raccoon balances nicely on his back feet!
And be quiet for this sleeping kitten.
To create these student had to pay close attention to details, shapes, forms and textures. To create something in 3 dimensions requires a shift in the brain from thinking one side to all 360 degrees. There are so many good ones I have more!

Huge thanks to Ms. Davis- our wonderful shop teacher for loaning tools and students to create our totem pole! It took a lot of elbow grease to get so many totem's cut for student use!
THANK YOU MS. DAVIS!!! :)
