1B clay heads for puppets

Lesson: Design and technology

We worked under the watchful eye of Ms Plant today to shape our very own clay heads for our final puppets. We had to do them now so that they would have time to dry out and be fired in the kiln before the end of the term. We had to mould, scrape, pinch and smooth the clay to form all the details of a face. We started by feeling our own faces first to see what shape they were and tried to recreate a realistic face for our rod puppets.
