Ceramic Box with Lid Lesson

y Middle school class (7-8th graders) just finished up their Ceramic Boxes with Lids project & they came out so good! I’m proud of their hard work & good craftsmanship! They had to incorporate a theme & use additive methods to design & sculpt their boxes.

What are the dimensions of your box? What size is each square?
We used 3″ squares for my middle school students. I had pre-cut templates made out of mat board that I gave to each student. Have Fun Creating!
