Ugly jugs

Edgefield, SC is the home of face jugs. My students explore this tradition by making their own. We start by viewing a video by PBS called "History Detectives: Face Jug" that explains its history. Then demo and hands on clay. We slab build a cylinder on day one, day 2,3 we add handle and face.
