Using the same techniques as we have with our "Terracotta Warriors" sculptures, we attempted garden gnomes out of clay this quarter. They turned out well...except for the couple of arms that fell off...and ears...and a cape?...oh, well...better slip and scoring next time!
Now, we are just waiting for the firing process to be over and glazing will begin. More updates later.
I found making these fun! :) Plus, mine didn't lose any limbs!!
ReplyDeleteThese look awesome!! We're all so creative(:
ReplyDeleteThese were really fun because you don't have to go by directions and it's something of your own, doing things with clay is funnnnnn. :)
ReplyDeleteThey were fun but I lost my arms;(
ReplyDeleteCould you send this lesson to me?

hello!! I'm the garden coordinator at a middle school and am hoping to replicate this process with an art teacher at the school where I work: I LOVE THEM. I'm just wondering what kind of clay you used and if these gnomes ended up staying outside in the garden (and if so, how they held up to the elements).
