We are slowly working through the book, A Manual of Clay-Modeling by Unwin in our clay modelling series. In this post, we are going to be tackling model #7, which is a clay model of a pea pod. There were definitively some new skills incorporated into this model, which you will immediately notice if you’ve been following along with us in this series. It had some extra detailing, however, we found it to be a quick project. You may not have a pea pod laying around. It's still winter where we live, so there is no garden growing,...

Today we are tackling the 6th clay model from the book A Manual of Clay-Modeling by Unwin. This model is of a clay model of a lemon, and if you've been following along with us in this video series, you'll find that this was fairly easy. It employed many of the same techniques that we had used in previous models, making this session fairly short in comparison to previous ones. Our work with clay modelling is part of a project to incorporate Charlotte Mason's teachings into our homeschool. We've followed the Charlotte Mason philosophy in our homeschool from...

Today we are continuing our progress through the book A Manual of Clay-Modelling by Unwin. We've made it to the 5th model, where we will be making a clay model of a piece of broken stone. We grabbed our broken stone from the side of the street. As it's supposed to be, this model was definitely the most challenging to date. It introduced a couple of new skills; instead of assembling our clay shape and putting it onto the armature, this time we were directed to build up around the armature. We also began working with varied shapes, instead of...

"How are you going to teach clay modelling to your kids?" my friend asked me, somewhat incredulously. "I'm not." I replied, confusing her even further. I knew she was asking me because I had no experience with clay modelling. But what you'll soon learn (if you haven't already), is that you don't teach much of anything in homeschool. Children learn on their own, if you can just provide them with what they need. I've seen this over and over and over again, and it's so beautiful to see. And so far, it's exactly what I am...

Today we are going to make a clay model of a plum. This is the 3rd model from the book, A Manual of Clay Modelling by Hermione Unwin. A few weeks ago, we thought it would be a good idea to work through all 60 models in the book, despite never having done clay modelling before. As we settle into a routine with this, we are quickly conquering the apprehensions that we had originally felt. Apprehensions Towards Clay Modelling Apprehensions, fears and reservations toward starting with clay modelling can be very overwhelming. They can even completely prevent...

We've decided to tackle the book, A Manual of Clay Modelling by Hermione Unwin, with its 60 different models. We have no experience in clay modelling, so we're entering into this experience with a little trepidation and some feelings of overwhelm. Are we crazy to commit to 60 models? Our first model was an orange. The setup was almost as involved as the execution. The cleanup was even more involved. However, the process of clay modelling was absolutely enjoyable. For some reason, it's soothing to have your hands in dirt and water. ...
