迷你陶瓷鸟浴盆是将两种陶艺技法融于一课的绝佳范例:捏塑法与手捏成型法(制作需两课时)!我们用捏塑法制作鸟浴盆的盆体与底座(底座做法:先搓成球体,再用手指插入球心,沿指周均匀按压黏土,形成细高圆柱体),而小鸟则采用手捏成型法制作。
我最初在优秀美术教师博客《溅泼、刮擦与胶滴》(Splats, Scras, and Glue Blobs)上看到本课:《陶土鸟浴盆雕塑(第一部分)》 与 《嵌入熔融玻璃水的鸟浴盆雕塑》。SmART Class 网站也提及此项目。众多其他美术教师均开展过此项目,并收获了珍贵成果!家长尤其喜爱本项目!

我们是这样完成本项目的:
材料: 低温陶土、陶艺塑形工具、玻璃珠、梅科(Mayco)描边釉(Stroke & Coat Glazes)




活动: 迷你鸟浴盆陶艺
运用捏塑法与手捏成型法,制作一个微型鸟浴盆及配套小鸟。
步骤说明:
- 每位学生配一块铺有塑料膜的陶艺板;让学生用美纹纸胶带写上姓名,并贴于陶艺板正面一角;另配一只大号塑料袋与橡皮筋用于储存作品。
- 每位学生分得两团陶土,一团制浴盆,一团制底座(或立柱)。
- 取一小团陶土,用捏塑法制作浴盆,塑出理想造型。
- 将另一团陶土塑成细高圆柱体作为底座(或立柱):拇指插入泥球中心后抽出,再将食指插入孔中,沿指周轻柔挤压黏土,使壁厚均匀、整体呈细高圆柱状;轻轻晃动食指使其脱出,再将开口端轻叩桌面,确保端面平整、不摇晃。
- 可选泥板底座: 可另给一团陶土,让学生用大号滚筒将其擀成泥板,再用直尺量取并裁出4×2英寸(约10.2×5.1厘米)矩形;(提醒学生保留余料用于制作小鸟。)
- 对浴盆与底座接触面进行刮痕(score)并涂泥浆(slip),再粘合。
- 用针具在表面刻画图案或其他纹样,或用笔帽等物按压出肌理。
- 运用手捏成型法塑造小鸟;用剪刀剪出翅膀,再轻柔塑形至理想姿态。
- 对小鸟与浴盆接触面刮痕并涂泥浆,再将小鸟粘于浴盆上。
- 在底座侧面刻写个人姓名缩写。
- 阴干5–7天,素烧,施釉;添加3–5颗玻璃珠,再次烧成。

Mini Ceramic Birdbaths are a great way to teach two ceramic techniques in one lesson: pinch pots & hand building (2 class periods for the construction)! We made the bowl & base of the bird bath using the pinch pot method (we made the base by forming a ball, then pressing the clay around our finger to form a tall thin cylinder) and the bird is made using a hand building method.
I first saw this lesson at these excellent art teacher blog Splats, Scras, and Glue Blobs Clay Bird Bath Sculptures Part 1 & Birdbath Sculptures with Melted Glass Water. SmART Class also has reference to this project. Many other art teachers have done this project with precious results! Parents LOVE this project!

This is how WE created this project:
Supplies: Low fire clay, clay modeling tools, glass beads, Mayco Stroke & Coat Glazes






Activity: Mini Bird Bath Ceramics
Construct a miniature bird bath and bird out of ceramics using pinch pot and hand building methods of construction.
Instructions:
- Give each student a bat with plastic wrap on it. Have the write their name on a piece of masking tape & put it on the front corner of the bat. Also give them a large plastic bag and rubber band for storage.
- Give each student two balls of clay one for the bath and one for the base or the stand.
- Create the bath with a small ball using the pinch pot method, form it into the desired shape of the bath.
- Create the base or stand by forming the other ball into a tall thin cylinder. This time after pulling out your thumb, insert your pointer finger & gently squeeze the clay around you finger until you have an even thickness all the way around the finger & it makes a tall cylinder. Wiggle your finger until it comes out & tap the open end on the table to that is even & not wobbly.
- Optional Slab Base: You could give them a ball of clay & have them roll out the slab with a larger ball, then cut out the 4×2” section measuring with a ruler. (Have them save the extra clay to form the bird.)
- Score & slip the bath & base together.
- Use a needle tool to draw patterns or other objects to press in texture (like the end of a marker cap).
- Use hand building techniques to form the bird. Cut the wings with scissors & gently sculpt them into the position you want.
- Score & slip the bird onto the bath.
- Scratch your initials onto the side of the base
- Let dry 5-7 days, Fire, Glaze -Add 3-5 glass beads & re-fire.
