No Kiln, No Worries! An Online Professional Learning Workshop with Dee Zabel These videos are for registered workshop participants only, and are not to be downloaded or shared with anyone. These days, kilns can be hard to come by in schools, which might be seen as limiting for planning a modelling unit. This workshop will provide you with ways to still teach your students how to use clay without a kiln and have some amazing outcomes. Students of all ages will benefit from the experience of using clay as it provides an alternative creative outlet for those who struggle with other techniques, like painting and drawing. Just the chance to play and be ‘messy’ will have your students immediately engaged! GETTING READY!
