Found Impression Clay Tile

I can demonstrate the ability to create a design through impressions made by found objects in clay

I can demonstrate the ability to create impressions that can be seen but do not go deeply enough that they will crack the clay

I can demonstrate the ability to cut evenly in clay

I can demonstrate the ability to use glaze to enhance a design

Ceramic- all fired clay

Clay- decomposed, finely-grained natural rock (granite)

Design- repeating a pattern

Firing- the process of heating the clay in a kiln

Glaze- paint for clay

Impressions- pressing something into clay to leave a mark that outlines the object and its texture

Kiln- an oven for heating clay to a high temperature so that there is a chemical process that occurs when clay becomes ceramic
