Our Primary students are very productive in our art studio. During a lesson in glazing ceramics we discussed this unique type of "painting." The children learned that ceramic glaze is made from chemicals, which when heated to a very high temperature, melts onto the clay, creating a glass-like surface which is safe to use for eating and drinking. The children are excited to use the little pots they make for these things.
Other projects the Primary children do in the art studio include clay and bead mosaics, painting and drawing.
