This slab project was done by 6th grade. They are some really talented kids👦👧! They stuck to it and pressed on. They loved the challenge...And I LOVE THESE PROJECTS!
Directions:
The kids decided what word what they wanted to make into clay.
Also, they decided on the details that would go along with their word.
I cut some slabs and used a slab roller to get the correct thickness. The slabs could not be too thin. The slabs are holding a word. I would recommend trial and error on the thickness of the slab.
Then, I cut some small slabs approximately 2 inch by 2 inch. The kids used these slabs to cut out letters. Having a 2 inch by 2 inch slab REALLY helped the kids👦👧 get the letters correctly cut. The small slab was a great guide for letter size. Trust💙 me, cut the small slabs.
Basically, they slipped and scored.
The word slabs dried.
The slabs were fired.
Glazed.
The slabs were fired again.
L👀K!

Look at the little horse that Nealy did on her slab. ↓↓↓↓↓
Remember the song "Wildfire" by Michael Martin Murphey? The ultimate horse lover song. I always thought it was kinda slow.
