Focus: (Write definitions down--you may paraphrase.)
Plastic Clay: Moist clay that is capable of being formed into a pot.
Leather-hard Clay: The stage between plastic and bone dry when clay has dried, but may still be carved or joined to other pieces.
Bone dry Clay: Stage of drying when moisture in the clay body has evaporated so the clay surface no longer feels cold. Your pot will look chalky and light colored. This is a very fragile stage and pots can be easily broken until fired.
Objectives for today:
1. Continue to recycle clay, as needed.
2. Continue to wedge clay, as needed.
3. Make practice pinch pots.
4. Begin Pinch Pot Unit.
Closure: None. Happy Friday!
