Pembelajaran Luar Kelas, Bermain Tanah Liat: PAUD Tunas Melati

PAUD Tunas Melati Tempel mengadakan program pembelajaran luar kelas sekaligus pengenalan lingkungan ke StudioKeramik PPPPTK Seni dan Budaya. Sebanyak 16 siswa beserta para guru dan orang tua bermain dan belajar menggunakan media tanah liat.
Tanah liat dibentuk dengan peralatan yang sederhana, bahkan hanya menggunakan tangan langsung menjadi benda-benda unik dan lucu. Siswa-siswi yang relatif masih kecil, sangat senang dengan kegiatan ini; karena tanah liat memang media yang sesuai untuk melatih motorik halus maupun kasar. Dengan bimbingan siswa-siswa prakerin SMK, anak-anak membuat beberapa bentuk benda seperti mangkuk, piring, figurin ular, kura-kura, bunga dan lain-lain.
Kegiatan berlangsung sekitar 1,5 jam; waktu ini dirasa cukup agar anak-anak tidak merasa jenuh. Hasil karya nantinga akan dikeringkan dan diberi glasir untuk kemudian dibakar pada 1100 C.

  2. Pottery clay is cool to work with, and most people enjoy playing around with it. But there are a few facts that you should know about pottery clay, and in this, we’ll discuss some of the 10 must know facts about your pottery clay and some different parts about it.
    By knowing the clay that you’re working with, you’ll be able to build wonderful items, and you’ll be able to as well, with the right clay, work with it in ways that have a means for you to create a good product, and one that will be worth your while.
    You should know that your pottery clay always has a specific type of firing to it. Amazon clay, in particular, will tell you of the firing ranges, but they’re a little different from what you’re used to.
    We know about the earthenware, stoneware, and porcelain being the three different temperature levels, but did you know that there are different levels of firing in terms of temperature that manufacturers use.
    This can affect the different natures of the clay. The bodies and the glazes must mature at the right temperature because if not, the following happens:
    • The glaze won’t stick
    • It will possibly crack and melt the clay
    • If the clay isn’t high firing but the glaze is, it will end up ruining the pot
    10 point is more important for pottery
