Today’s homeschool handicraft project is a clay model of a pin tray. This is model #43 from the book, A Manual of Clay-Modelling by Hermione Unwin. A pin tray from the early 1900s was a small decorative dish or tray used to hold straight pins, sewing pins, hat pins, hair pins, or other small pins. They were typically very small - only a few inches across - often decorative and ornamental, but also practical. 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...

Today, as part of our clay modelling series, we are going to make a clay model of a child's shoe. This is model #42 from the book, A Manual of Clay-Modelling by Hermione Unwin. This book was originally published in 1912, so I imagine that a child's shoe would probably look quite different now-a-days. Since we did not have any children's shoes around our house (our kids are in high school now), we took a trip to our local resale store and found a pair of shoes similar to the shoe shown in the book. It is a...

Our homeschool handicraft project for today, is a clay model of a tam-o'-shanter. This is model #41 from the book, A Manual of Clay-Modelling by Hermione Unwin and it’s part of our clay modelling series. This project was fairly quick. We did not use the armature, because the height did not require it. Instead we built up the form on a clay slab, finishing with a pom-pom. We did not have a tam-o'-shanter, so we chose to use a hat we had made in our crochet series. Now, if you're anything like us, you have no idea what a tam-o'-shanter...

Today's homeschool handicraft project is a clay model of a tin loaf. We will be making model #40 from the book, A Manual of Clay-Modelling by Hermione Unwin as part of our clay modelling series. Now it occurred to me that some of you younger folks may not know what a tin loaf is. To make a tin loaf, bakers bake the bread in a tin loaf pan. At the turn of the 20th century, when this book was written, bakers increasingly used bread tins because they produced consistent, evenly sized loaves and kept the crumb softer for longer. Although bakers still use...

Our homeschool handicraft project for today, is a clay model of an oak leaf. This is model #39 from the book, A Manual of Clay-Modelling by Hermione Unwin and it’s part of our clay modelling series. We've made clay models of leaves before (a laurel leaf, a poplar leaf, and an ivy leaf), so this should not be a massive challenge. We are going to use the principles and skills from previous lessons and add some detailing. An oak leaf can vary in shape and size depending on the tree. Oak leaves are typically broad and flat with a strong central...

Today we are making our second pair of mussel shells (I hope you saved your shells from Lesson #31!). Lesson #38, from the book, A Manual of Clay-Modelling by Hermione Unwin, is a clay model of a pair of mussels shells (concave). First we made a convex pair, and now we are making the concave version. Come join us as part of our homeschool handicraft clay modelling series! 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...
