Day 80

 Whoopps!  I totally forgot to blog yesterday. I am so sorry we were so busy having fun. Today was also nothing but fun.  We worked in small groups with our artist in residence making bowls.  I have posted pictures to help your child tell you about the different steps.  While the children were not working with the artist they were with me working on the letter Uu


Step one: start with a section of clay


Step two: throw it down a few times to use gravity


Step Three: use your muscles to flatten it out


Step Four: use a roller to even it out


Step five: put it over a bowl


Step six: cut off the edges


Step seven: water down the dry cracks


Step eight: roll a snake to make the foot of the bowl


Step nine: use a wet toothbrush to cut up pieces on the bottom of the bowl to attach the foot to


Step ten: smoosh the foot in the middle


Step eleven: decorate!!!!
