For this pottery project, you will create your own raised design. A raised design in an artwork is called a ‘Relief’. You will be using a Styrofoam plate for this project. This ceramic lesson can be taught to all of Secondary. This could be a 3 one-hour lesson: Create your design and Styrofoam plate - the theme could be a pattern or link to another art task. Build your pot and use the Styrofoam plate Paint your final design with Watercolours or Acrylics. Tips: Try and limit the use of water in stage 2. Press hard on the Styroplate to capture the design; it doesn’t matter if the Styrofoam plate breaks. If you use air-dry clay, Acrylics might work better than Watercolours, as the water could ruin the pot. Have fun!
