For this project we started with a flat slab of clay and we cut out the shape of the lantern. We used stamps or patterns to make the designs on the sides. Once our designs were done, we carefully folded up the sides to make the lantern and have the pattern on the outside. Once we finished we fired the lanterns to make them hard. After the lanterns were fired, we painted them with glaze and fired them again to finish the lantern. I'm really happy with my finished lantern and this was a great first project! 

This was the second clay project we did this year. We started with clay and used a plastic plate to get the shape of the plate we wanted. We let the clay dry, and then glazed it. Once the glaze was dry, we took a stencil and placed it on the plate. Then we took a pencil and drew out the lines of the stencil on the plate. Once we finished that, we took a knife to carve out the design we chose. When we finished carving, we painted a layer of clear glaze over the plate to make the part we carved out shiny when we fired it. When the glazing was done we fired our plates and got the finished result. Again, I am super happy with how my plate finished. 

For this project we made a logo that has our initials, and reflects us. The goal was that if your friends see it they would know that this is your logo. I started with the KW, because those are my initials. I thought the wave in the W would make it stand out and I love the beach so I thought that would be a creative way to show that. And then I painted an ombre wave for the front of this project. The other pictures are the other sides. One side has Psalm 46:5, because it is my favorite Bible verse. The top has a tennis ball, ice cream, and a duck, because these are all things I love. The other side has a sillouet of a dance move called a needle. This refelcts how I am a dancer. On the back side I wanted to have a bunch of pictures, of memories and people I love. I was really happy with how this project turned out.
