Club Mud

Posted by Wendy on April 24, 2013 3 Comments

Every Tuesday, my kids go to a pottery class that the local community center hosts. It’s a great way for them to learn a skill and have some fun at the same time.

So far, they’ve made a bell, a plate, a cup, and a glazed picture apiece. Yesterday, they were making turtles.

The first step is to slam the clay against the table a few times to get rid of the air bubbles before you start working it.

Then she (the instructor) had the kids take a piece of their clay and roll it into a snake…

… and then coil the snake into a bowl shape.

At this point, hubby and I left the boys in the capable hands of the pottery teacher. But when we came back, we got to see their sculpted turtles.

Seahawk’s:

Munchkin’s (he apparently was having difficulty, so his turtle is in its shell; he’s nothing if not creative!):

The teacher will have them fired, glazed, and ready to bring home in a week or two.
