This week, in our homeschool handicrafts lessons, we are going to be making a clay model of an egg, from the book, A Manual of Clay-Modelling by Unwin. These lessons are supposed to be gradually increasing in complexity as you work through the book. This lesson seemed to take us back several lessons to Model #3, which was a clay model of a plum. In fact, the egg seemed to be even simpler than the plum! Although the egg takes a little more shaping, the plum had more details. But you be the judge - watch our...

Have you ever attempted to make a clay model of a cockle shell? You'd think it was a simple little project, but I'm here to tell you, it's harder than it looks! We are working on the 19th model from the book, A Manual of Clay-Modelling by Unwin, which is a cockle shell. Some lessons in this book seem very simple and straight forward, a logical progression from the lesson before. But this lesson was a bit of a jump. With all of the intricacies and details, this clay model of a cockle shell gave us a...

We are back today to make a clay model of a carrot. Let's get a big cheer for the fact that we didn't have to substitute or spend an entire day hunting all over town for our model! This one was sitting in our kitchen pantry, just waiting to be used. The carrot is model #18 from the book, A Manual of Clay-Modelling by Unwin. This model brought together the last several lessons, providing valuable practice in creating forms, modelling the form, and adding detail to that form. Materials Needed The book, A Manual of Clay Modelling by Hermione Unwin (or free...

Every week, in preparation for our clay modelling session, we check our book, A Manual of Clay-Modelling by Unwin, to see what we will be modelling. We then go on a hunt for the object. Sometimes it's in our backyard, or pantry, and sometimes we prowl the neighborhood, parks, or grocery stores looking for the item. This week we had to go on the hunt. A simple poplar leaf was all we needed for model #17. I assumed I could drive past our local nature preserve and grab one - but no. There was no...

Today, we will be making a clay model of a chestnut. The chestnut is the 16th model from the book, A Manual of Clay-Modelling by Unwin. Do you have any idea how hard it is to find a chestnut?! I know they can be found in abundance around Christmas time - for all of those who want to roast them on an open fire - but it's a very different story in the middle of summer! This has become our biggest challenge related to clay modelling - finding the object for the lesson! The skill we began learning in...

We are continuing our trek through the book, A Manual of Clay-Modelling by Unwin. Today we are making model #15, a clay model of a broad bean. This model was very similar to model #7, a model of a pea pod. In fact, model #15 had no instructions of its own; it simply referred to model #7 for instructions. What is a Broad Bean? Our challenge with this model was not the clay modelling portion, since it was a little repetitive. Our challenge was finding the object itself! First of all, I had no idea what a...
