Cartouches

The Cartouches are finally out of the kiln! We glazed the clay cartouche in shades of green and blue to keep with the colors of Egyptian gems each students also wrote out their name in Heiroglyphs. In Egyptian times the cartouche was designated only for royalty. For the sake of this project we all then became Pharaohs and Queens of the Nile. The 9th agers really enjoyed experimenting with different tools to create new textures and designs in their clay.
