After a hectic week last week with the younger kids… energy, enthusiasm, excitement…
it’s nice to be back to the relative calmness with my slightly older kids. It’s amazing what
a difference just a year or two can do?… plus the fact that I only have five kids in my
morning camp! With a smaller group, we can focus on slightly tougher projects and
push ’em a bit further! But… in the afternoon camp, I still have the 8-10 year olds –
but almost three times as many kids!!!
So this week, my kids focused on making slab plates, vases & mugs decorated with leaf
impressions & outlines in underglaze. After creating their projects, we needed to glaze them
with a crazy green glaze we use for kids projects that will turn clear in the kiln. Vibrant, huh?
After the clay projects were glazed, the kids were ready to move on to their next project.
Clay projects on Monday, other Multimedia craft projects the rest of the week.
No wonder the one kid is upset, his shirt says “assembly required.”
