Are you ready to tackle our next homeschool handicraft project? Today, we are making a clay model of a mushroom. We'll be making it lying upside down, on a slab. This project was great practice into creating a three-dimensional feel with lots of detail. It is model #37 from the book, A Manual of Clay-Modelling by Hermione Unwin and it’s part of our clay modelling series. We may have cheated a little. Instead of mushroom hunting in the forest, we ran over to our neighborhood grocery store and got a package of mushrooms. We used one for...

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...

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...
