Expressive Faces

We have been immersed in sculpture at the Center for the Blind and Visually Impaired in Chester, PA.  Participants were asked to create self portraits in ceramic clay to reflect an emotion.  Raku clay was glazed with iron oxide to reveal great detail for people who see with their hands.  

Sense Awareness

Students at Elwyn School created expressive hand vessels.   Sense Awareness is our theme this year.  Students explored their sense of touch,  tracing their hands in ceramic clay, and then cutting out their 3 tracings and draping  each hand upside down around a thick tube.
