As we work our way through the book,  A Manual of Clay-Modelling, I sometimes stop and laugh at the models chosen. This week it was a clay model of an octagonal cigar ash tray. It made me think of Victorian-era men, retiring to the parlor to smoke cigars and play cards. Clearly, we do not have any use for a cigar ash tray. Was there any way we could convert this project into something useful? 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...

Who knew it would be so difficult to make a clay model of a Jerusalem artichoke?! But it's not the making of the clay model that is difficult, it's finding the Jerusalem artichoke! More often than not, finding the object is the most challenging task of the entire project. My working theory is that the book we are working through, A Manual of Clay-Modelling by Unwin was written in England back in the early 1900s. Maybe broad beans and cockle shells were hanging out on street corners back then. Things are apparently a little different here...

Today we are going to be making a clay model of an ivy leaf. We are working through the book, A Manual of Clay-Modelling by Hermione Unwin and this is model #27. If you've been following along with us, you'll know that we've made leaves before, so we will be referring back to those models as we work through this one. As homeschoolers, this is part of our Charlotte Mason education. Did we have an ivy plant growing in our home? No. So again we set out to find the object for our clay modelling...

Our next project in our clay modelling series for homeschoolers is a clay model of an almond nut. This is model #26 from the book, A Manual of Clay-Modelling by Hermione Unwin. Model by model, we have committed to working through this book as part of our Charlotte Mason education. This model is done in a similar way as model #3, which was a plum. The project begins in a similar way, but ends in a way that is unique to the almond nut. Materials Needed The book, A Manual of Clay Modelling by Hermione Unwin (or free online HERE) Modeling Clay (the book suggests...

We're back to the cockle shell! If you are following our clay modelling series, you will remember clay model #19, a cockle shell which was modelled while faced downwards. Today, we will be making a clay model of a concave cockle shell. We will be taking that same cockle shell model and positioning it facing upwards. These projects, by the way, come from the book, A Manual of Clay-Modelling by Unwin. 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...

Starting a new project is always a little exciting. I was especially happy that this project did not require some weird, unobtainable object. Our project today is model #24 from the book, A Manual of Clay-Modelling by Unwin, a clay model of a banana. There were no big curve balls thrown at us with this project, and the bonus part is that you can eat it when you're finished. 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...
