Ceramics Project Ideas

What are some ways I can integrate metalsmithing into a ceramics project?

I am starting my student teaching in January in a highschool ceramics classroom. My teacher would like me to teach a ceramics project that integrates some metalsmithing. I really enjoy metalsmithing but I am no expert. Does anyone have lesson ideas, assignments you may of done, or a website that would give me tips on metalsmithing?

What kind of metalsmithing you’ll do depends a lot on what kind of tools you have available. What kind of metalsmithing have you done?
Blacksmithing requires an entire different set of tools than repousse and raising bowl from sheet metal requires again a different set as well as different techniques. There are lot of different methods and styles and it’s impossible to give a sufficient explanantion of all.
A good book on metalsmithing is this one:

at least I like it. It’s recommend to first check it out from the library to see how it works for you. You can also check your library for other craft oriented books which could give you an idea.
for good blacksmithing websites google “anvilfire”.

You could also check out artists who combine glass and metal, and get some inspiration from them. Bella Feldman is one whose work I like, but I am sure there are lots.
