@@juztnlast953sorry I missed this question! I do one clay project with each grade and 2 with K (pinch pots and clay houses). I do at least one other 3D project with each grade plus weaving and/or sewing. I hope that helps!😊
Great video, thank you! 💕 I noticed that my students clay gets dry fairly quickly while working on their projects, do you have any tips or tricks I could use?
I usually do a few examples at once. By this I mean a few different projects or an extra few example variations to show what to do/not to do. You can fire the kiln without a full load. Once I have examples I take photos and videos of them to share with students. I then add student work photos/videos to my slides after they complete the lesson.
what do you do with any clay scraps? I am doing a project that leaves a lot of leftover and i am not sure how to easily split it up evenly when its not in a block like it comes in.
I use the scraps with my upper grades that get more choice in their clay assignment. My 5th graders make clay gargoyles and 6th makes a clay animal that also must be a functional item.

This was excellent to see! How many 3-D projects, like clay, do you do per grade?

Assuming it’s kiln fired clay? I walk around with spray bottles of water and mist the clay.
This is amazing!! I love the laminated steps!
Thank you so much for watching!
Great video - i am starting my story with clay as an art teacher and I was just looking for a video like this one. Grear-thank you🎉
Glad it was helpful!! Thank you so much for watching!
Your organizational techniques are truly admirable! Clearly, your students feel organized and successful in your art studio!
Thank you so much!
Do you fire your examples first? My problem is that if I made examples first I wouldn’t have a full load to fill the kiln.

Dried out clay? Check out this great hack!! instagram.com/reel/Ctc96wTAN_v/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
Also keep bare thread spools for fun eye shapes
Yes!!! 🙌🏻
Will plastic bags work instead of zip lock?
Sure! When I use store plastic bags I use two and tie them. I hope that helps!
Great information! Thank you!!
Glad it was helpful!
