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...

I'm not sure I've ever seen the need to make a clay model of a potato, yet here we are. In this week's video, we will be making model #14, a potato, from the book, A Manual of Clay-Modelling by Unwin. Each lesson in this book features a progressively complex skill set. Since we had already mastered the rather basic skill of building up a blob the size of our object and placing it on the armature, we focused this lesson on creating texture. Materials Needed The book, A Manual of Clay Modelling by Hermione Unwin (or free online HERE) Modeling Clay (the book suggests...

We are busy working through the book, A Manual of Clay-Modelling by Unwin, as we learn about clay modelling. Today, we will be making a clay model of an onion, which is model #13. I guess we're working through all of the fruits and veggies! So far we've made an orange, an apple, a plum, a pear, a lemon, a pea pod, and a tomato. For this model, we went picked up a nicely shaped onion at the grocery store. It will serve two purposes - a model for our clay modelling, and then dinner. Materials Needed The book, A...

I hope you were following along with us as we make a clay model of a saucer in our last post. Today's model is meant to be made along with the saucer, as they are two pieces of a matching set. The clay model of a plant pot that we will be making today is model #12 from the book, A Manual of Clay-Modelling by Unwin. Along with making the saucer, making these two models are the first time that we are creating an object without an original piece to copy. This makes the process more creative and...
