Clay House Tsdekah Box Jewish Art Project
Art Medium: clay Grades: 5 - 12

About this project: This clay house is made from slabs. It can be decorated in many charming ways. It was only fired one time using underglaze. It has a very down to earth look without the shine from glaze. To use proper clay building techniques, you may want to refer to the book:

Part l:
- Make 3 paper pattern in the following dimensions: 10x15cm, 15x15cm, 18x18cm
- Roll out the clay to have a thickness of centimeter.
- I used white clay, but choose the color and texture you want to work with.
- Cut out the bottom of the house (15x15cm)
- Cut out 4 sides of the house (10x15cm) eac
- Cut out the roof (18x18 cm). Make a big “X” on this square, thereby making four triangles.
- Cover all the pieces with plastic to keep moist.
- Begin attaching the four walls of the house to its floor.
- Make a hole in the floor so that money can be removed
- Use slip and small coils on the inside when attaching the sides.
- Before assembling the roof, cut out one narrow slit where money will enter the tzedaka box.
- Add a bird or birds on the roof.
- Decorate with carving tools
- Color your art piece with underglazes.
- Fire your Tdekah Box
