Clay Lantern Design Ideas – Everyone needs a good challenge to help them grow! Cut-plan was a new technique that I wanted to introduce to my high school students. They were up for the challenge! We’ve done the construction of a cast iron board in the past and done a lot of additional construction by hand, but it was time to take it to the next level! They need to learn more advanced techniques. So a cut design lamp project was just what they needed.
While researching cut patterns I came across Lakeside Pottery Studio (Pagoda Lantern), this is an amazing website and a valuable ceramic resource for any teacher or the potter! I wrote this tutorial based on previous plate tutorials and added a new design method.

4. Coil: Making ceramic forms by rolling down coils of clay and joining them together in a slip and point fashion.
1. The teacher will demonstrate each method and the student will practice removing the board. (save and reserve the water for the next batch)

A. Rolling the clay: Place guide sticks at the desired sheet thickness on each side of the clay ball. The guide rods should be positioned so that the rolling pin can pass over both of them. Throw the clay down on the side to start the leveling process. Starting from the center of the clay and rolling away from you. Finish only at the edge of the clay. Return to the center and pull towards you with the same pressure. Take the clay and roll it over, this helps prevent the clay from sticking to the canvas. Repeat these steps, until the clay is level with the guide sticks and can no longer be flattened.
B. Show students how to store their slabs (on shelves, in bags and how to twist and wrap rubber bands).
1. Make a pattern: on paper draw each separate part for your clay lamp.
4. Point and slide – (demo) To connect two pieces of clay, you must use the point and slide method. (Day 4-6)

1. Cut designs can only be made when the clay is skin-hard. You have to leave it on for 30+ minutes to let it harden on the skin

Decorating – applying water glazes to ceramic pieces. Glazes are made from ground glass suspended in a liquid. In the presence of heat, the glaze becomes a coating of glass that binds to the surface.
Glaze Firing – Firing done after the glaze is applied to bisque or (sometimes) raw materials to produce a glass-like surface.

I’m not sure if that’s the best name to describe it, but it’s basically a cup made of air-dried clay that you can put a light or small candle in. I made a picture on the sides of the cup and poked small holes in the clay to let the light through. I saw the same thing done in a can and I liked the way it looked. The light coming through the holes is subtle and the ceramic design looks great even in daylight.
* Check that the clay is not hot (Crayola air-dry clay is and warns against using it to make candle holders)
I used a Christmas ornament to make an impression on the clay, stamps work well for this too. Or if you have a steady hand you can draw something yourself. Try to apply enough pressure and don’t push so hard that it goes to the other side. I made the cup big enough to make two dove pictures.

With a needle or something with a sharp point (I actually use a seam ripper) poke holes all the way through the clay along with the pattern you made with the felt. Place them about 2 mm apart and make sure the needle goes straight into the clay, not sideways. I also used the stencil to add some holes as some areas looked empty.
When the clay is dry, you can sand to smooth the edges and edges.
