Homeschool

26 Apr

We are officially 1/6 of the way through the book, A Manual of Clay-Modelling by Unwin. We've questioned ourselves a few times as to why we decided to do this video series. There are 60 models in this book - and we are determined to do every single one of them. It was only a few weeks ago that I was sitting down looking over this book, feeling rather overwhelmed. But as with anything, when you break it up into small pieces, it becomes very do-able. Not only that, but it is important to us to do...

I recently did a post and video on How to do an Increase in Crochet, so it only falls to reason that our next crochet blog post has to be about how to do a decrease in crochet, right? In many patterns, think of a ball shape, for example, we begin by increasing our stitches until we reach the middle area. Then we begin to decrease. Our baby chick in an eggshell project is a perfect example. The increase and decrease in crochet are stitches that will be used over and over and over again. For...

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...

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. ...

It's time to make a crocheted hat to match our scarf that we recently made. Isn't it exciting to have a matching set that is so unique to you that no one else in the entire world has?! Now there are an innumerable number of crocheted hat patterns out there, ranging from small to large, ugly to adorable, and simple to difficult. We're going to skip all of that and learn how to customize a hat to whatever size you want. I really mean it - from infant to adult. And the best part? You will not need a pattern! I...
