Go find a clean shoe, because today's homeschool handicraft is a clay model of a sabot - and I'm guessing you don't have a sabot laying around the house. This project is model #36 from the book, A Manual of Clay-Modelling by Hermione Unwin and it's part of our clay modelling series. What is a Sabot? The word sabot comes from the French term for a wooden shoe, typically carved from a single block of wood, and historically worn by peasants and workers. Nowadays a sabot would probably be made from leather, rubber, or some other synthetic material instead of wood, and...

It’s time for another homeschool handicraft! Today we going to be making a clay model of a trinket tray, which is model #35 from the book, A Manual of Clay-Modelling by Hermione Unwin.

Our next clay model is going to be my favorite vegetable. As part of our homeschool handicrafts curriculum, we are working our way through the book, A Manual of Clay-Modelling by Hermione Unwin. This is model #33, which is a Windsor bean. As a kid, we called these beans "fat beans" and, no, they were NOT my favorite vegetable. I HATED these beans and would do anything to avoid eating them! My Mom would slip them into a dish of peas and carrots, hoping we wouldn't notice. But there was no mistaking the texture and flavor of...

Today for our homeschool handicraft lesson, we are going to make a clay model of a poppy capsule. We are working our way through the book, A Manual of Clay-Modelling by Hermione Unwin. The poppy capsule is model #32, and once again, presented a real challenge to find! First of all, it's wintertime, and secondly, I've never seen an actual poppy grow near us. So, in what appears to be our norm, we found an alternate solution - a dried seed capsule of some sort. Along with a few pictures, we were able to make a poppy capsule....

We are officially half-way through the book, A Manual of Clay-Modelling by Hermione Unwin! After getting through 30 models, and with 30 more to go, we decided to treat ourselves with a new block of terra cotta clay. Our first block was getting old and hard, which makes it tougher to work with. Our new block was fresh and soft, which made our work more enjoyable - and that's always worth it! (Pro Tip: Try to purchase your clay at your local craft store. Presumably because of the weight, they are twice as expensive online!) A new...
