3rd/4th grade Clay Projects

By Marcia Beckett | March 11, 2012 - 3:49 am |July 5, 2024 clay

This 4th grade project is a three-colored clay vase with two handles, featuring blue at the base, red in the middle, and purple at the top.

My 3rd/4th grade class made clay pots. We looked at the Mimbres pottery of the Southwest Native Americans, but I did not require them to use any of the imagery in their pottery. They could choose to add glaze designs however they wished. These are all coil built pots and glazed with Amaco Stroke and Coat glaze.

This handcrafted ceramic cup, ideal for 3rd grade clay projects, boasts a unique abstract shape with a reddish exterior and a purple interior.

A colorful ceramic sculpture featuring abstract, intertwined shapes in blue, pink, and green.

Three colorful, handmade clay pots suitable for 3rd grade and 4th grade clay projects: one green with blue and pink, one open with a green lid, and one red with a black pattern.

Two colorful, round ceramic plates with bright concentric patterns in blue, green, yellow, pink, and purple.
