INSPIRED...then getting their hands dirty!!!!

Inspired by A-MAZE-ING LAUGHTER and Echoes, these students use their creative ideas to transform their three pounds of clay into something EXTRAORDINARY

Amazing New objects!

Students start with simple cylinders and then must create something extraordinary.  Inspired by "Echoes", they begin stamping designs, adding pieces, changes shapes, and creating amazing new objects!

Expression and an Extraordinary Idea

Gaziz has created a very unique spear.  His extraordinary idea began as a simple ceramic stick.  His inspiration came from "Echoes"
Kseniya wants her mask to express the emotion of satisfaction.  Her inspiration came from the laughing figures on Denman Ave:  "A-MAZE-ING LAUGHTER"

Expression and an Extraordinary Idea

Students are hard at work with their ceramic sculptures.  Inspiration has come from "A-MAZE-ING LAUGHTER" for Domenica who is making a mask with expression and emotion.  Gabriel is creating an enormous mug that began as a simple, boring cylinder.  His inspiration comes form "Echoes". He wants to transform something ordinary into something extraordinary.
