O'Keeffe inspired slab bowls

I arrived a little early this morning to unload the kiln and just had to share these beauties!!

Fourth grade students created these by rolling clay slabs and using a bowl to mold the shape. We saved the bowl in a gallon ziploc bag and added the flower details the following week. Students looked at photographs of flowers for ideas to help them create the petal shape, pistil, and stamen details in the center. After the bowls were bisque fired we used Mayco Stroke & Coat glazes for the amazing colors!

I know some moms who are going to love when these come home!!
