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...

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...
