Before diving into the making, we spent some time talking about clay and where it comes from and how it's different than Play-Doh :) Then each student formed a pancake from a ball of clay before pressing small plastic snowflake charms into the surface to create texture. The last step was to lay it over the bottom of a Styrofoam bowl in order for the clay to take on the form of a shallow dish.
After the pieces were fired, students used metallic gold paint to make them glow! I loved hearing one Kindergartner say that he would be using his dish to collect treasures.
