Chia Pet Sculptures

Recommended Posts

I am getting ready to move into my pinch pot combo lesson with my high school students and thought it would be fun to make Chia pets. I know some other high schools make these but they use stoneware or terra cotta. I have ^05 earthenware. Does any one know if this would work alright to make chia pets out of. Obviously the construction would be fine its the plant part I am wondering about.

 

The ceramic form gets submerged into water over night, I guess to retain the water for the seeds? Then the seeds get smeared onto/into the grooves that were carved during the building process. A hole is at the top of the form so water can be poured in. Any thoughts or suggestions. I don't have the time or money to buy red earthenware or terra cotta so if earthenware doesn't work I will wait until next semester. Thanks
