We're back to the cockle shell! If you are following our clay modelling series, you will remember clay model #19, a cockle shell which was modelled while faced downwards. Today, we will be making a clay model of a concave cockle shell. We will be taking that same cockle shell model and positioning it facing upwards. These projects, by the way, come from the book, A Manual of Clay-Modelling by Unwin. Materials Needed The book, A Manual of Clay Modelling by Hermione Unwin (or free online HERE) Modeling Clay (the book suggests red terra cotta clay) Clay modeling tools (this kit includes many tools, along with a...

Who's ready for Lesson #12 in our brushwork series? Today we are stepping away from the wonderful world of flowers and leaves, and we are going to be painting some chickens! Our lesson comes from the book, Brushwork Elementary Brush-Forms by Marion Hudson. Brushwork, Lesson #12 is taking what we learned in our earlier lessons, oblique brush form from Lesson #4, and adapting those skills into something new and different. You'll be amazed how a set of two or three oblique brush forms can be shaped into chicks, and hens, both standing and sitting. Can...

Starting a new project is always a little exciting. I was especially happy that this project did not require some weird, unobtainable object. Our project today is model #24 from the book, A Manual of Clay-Modelling by Unwin, a clay model of a banana. There were no big curve balls thrown at us with this project, and the bonus part is that you can eat it when you're finished. Materials Needed The book, A Manual of Clay Modelling by Hermione Unwin (or free online HERE) Modeling Clay (the book suggests red terra cotta clay) Clay modeling tools (this kit includes many tools, along with a sponge and wire...

My thorough enjoyment of the handicraft, brushwork, continues today, as we move on to brushwork, lesson #11. This lesson is titled, Lesson of Scylla, and is a natural follow-up from lesson #10, a lesson on the scylla. As we previously learned the scylla (also spelled scilla) is a beautiful blue flower from the hyacinth family. It blooms in the early spring, typically in Europe, Africa, and Asia, with intense blue star-shaped blossoms. The face of the flower is generally faced downwards. As we work through the book, Brushwork Elementary Brush-Forms by Marion Hudson, we are gently guided to practice...

It's time to tackle model #23 in our clay modelling homeschool handicraft series. This lesson is a clay model of a pomegranate, from the book, A Manual of Clay-Modelling by Unwin. The majority of directions for this model are referred back to model #1, a clay model of an orange, our very first attempt at clay modelling. Materials Needed The book, A Manual of Clay Modelling by Hermione Unwin (or free online HERE) Modeling Clay (the book suggests red terra cotta clay) Clay modeling tools (this kit includes many tools, along with a sponge and wire to cut the clay) An modelling board with an armature – hopefully...

Today in our clay modelling homeschool handicraft series, we are making model #22, a clay model of a walnut, from the book, A Manual of Clay-Modelling by Unwin. Think of this model as model #3, a plum, but with more details added. The walnut at first appeared difficult, but when broken down in simple steps - many which we have already accomplished - this model became very straight forward. So, before we even start, be sure to approach this clay model with a positive, can-do mindset. Finding a walnut may not be as easy as it sounds. Once...
