__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ DESCRIPTION LESSON 1 The students build clay boxes using Logifaces blocks as inspiration. They can make small clay boxes by moulding the clay into a geometric form and cutting the lid using wire. The piece is carved out (about 1 cm deep). When choosing the size and form of the box, the student should consider the purpose of the box. LESSON 2 Clay paint is applied to the dry clay. After first firing, the students may glaze their work, depending on the function of the box.
