Your students could create a bas relief design then you could cast
it in plaster to make a mold. Then you could press regular clay
into the mold over and over. Those mulitiple pieces could be fired
and glazed. Good project for a 3-D Mural or whatever.

You can interview me, a retired inner city Middle school art
teacher if it would be of any help. E-mail me off list for
the phone number. We have free long distance if that would help.
A perk from my wifes 35 years at A T & T.
