The 8th grade, Fall 2008
We bought vases and pottery at a second hand store and have reused them. By putting a new design on them we may be able to increase the value of the items. The students then drew the vases/jars and planed the design to be applied to them. The still life was then colored in with aquarelle paints. Here they tried to match the various shades within the vase with the painting. We decorated the vases, etc. with porcelain paint and burned them in our own oven, following the dirrections on the bottles. Porcelain paint can be applied by brush, sponge or with special porcelain markers and can be found in most hobby stores here in Sweden.
On December 10th, we plan to sell our items at an open house meeting in the evening. We'll serve some snacks and see how much we can earn for our class.
