For these botanical impressions, students patted out slabs of clay and pressed plants on top. We then used watered down tempera to sponge color on top. I used Krylon to give it a sealer. I love the way they turned out. Such fine details really showed up nicely. :)
As a kid, my favorite art projects were clay ones. Making things out of clay is physically engaging, therapeutic, and just fun! Mrs. Ambrosini and I share a passion for teaching ceramic lessons, and are hoping to use fundraising money to buy a kiln for Wilson Creek in the next few years. Having to transport the projects to Anna Mac's kiln poses many problems, so we generally stick to air dry clay for WiIson Creek.
