Need these materials? Visit Blick!

Teacher shows multiple examples of clay/ceramic pendants.

Students brainstorm ideas and create sketches.

Students create their ceramic pendants.

After bisque fire, students wax holes to make sure glaze does not fill in the pendant holes.

After glaze firing, students string their pendants. Advanced students can create simple earrings.

This is a good 'inbetween' assignment for when students are finished with their regular course work.
