We’re getting close to the end of summer… and Summer Camp. But not until
we make some more great art with the kids! So this week I have a very wide range
of kids – both in age and demeanor! It’s a challenge… but I’m always up for it.
So this week, we started with our clay project which was going to be woven plates.
But all of a sudden when I showed up Monday morning, my class “age range” was
somehow lower than I expected… so we shifted gears just a little and added in
some easier pinch-plates for the younger ones! The kids made their clay pieces and
squished them into Chinet plates as a slump mold. Add a little colored underglaze…
then a little clear glaze – and they’ll get their finished plates back on Friday!
