Clay Owls

Steps:

First, make a pinch pot. Then turn it over to use as the body of the owl. Some of my students wanted to keep the pinch pot right-side-up so they could use their clay owls to put things in.

2nd, Make and attach the eyes. I showed them how to cut circles and slip and score to the face. They could also use the end of a rolling pin to press into the clay.

3rd, they cut out ovals for the wings. Then they added texture to them before attaching. Some chose their owls to be flying. 

4th, Add feet, and a beak. 

5th, Pinch up the ears. 

6th, Attach any accessories, i.e, eye glasses, a bow, one of my students made a pizza for their owl to carry?? They loved this step. It really made their pieces unique.
