Ceramic bowls

This project took a very long process. First, we took a slab of clay and flatened it out. Then we cut out a design on a piece of paper, laid it on the slab, and used a sharp tool to cut out the design. After we had our design, we placed it in a bowl mold so we could get the right shape. Once we finished smothing it out and letting it dry for a day or so, we put the bowls in the kiln to harden. They were in there for a VERY LONG time! After they came out, we had to glaze them so they would be nice and shiny. Then they hard to go back in the kiln in order to harden the glaze. Finally, once the bowl came out, it was finished! I took my bowl home and gave it to my mom for Mother's Day(:
