My summer campers have moved over to the Metals Room and we’re making metal knives,
forks& spoons. They’re all so focused on their projects with a lot to get done before the end
of the week. We started with my co-teacher Pam Robinson teaching the kids some
metalsmithing basics.We also stressed that their metal pieces also had to coordinate with
the overall theme & concept they were creating for themselves. Two days of clay were just
the start for this week’s project!
Once they started, the kids were all pretty focused on their projects. Each of them trying
to make their knives, forks & spoons… and trying not to cut themselves or break too many
saw blades. Once their pieces are cut out, they will then file them down and add textures
& patterns! You know how I love textures & patterns… even in metal!
And that’s not all… a very “sweet” afternoon was planned for them too…
