Holiday Clay Class

The three big kids and I attended a pottery class at our cool library today.


Anna and I followed the teacher's demonstration for rolling out clay then cutting out Christmas ornaments using cookie cutters.


Daniel preferred to use a more free-form approach for his ornament . . .


. . . then he spent the rest of the class time helping everyone out by cutting clay into little bits in case anyone wanted some.


Joy, of course, did her own thing completely.  She sculpted a fruit bowl (the rim says "BOUNTIFUL"), along with a banana, orange, apple, and a pineapple with the words "BE Thankful" on it.  I guess she still has Thanksgiving on her mind.


After we finished sculpting, Joy and Daniel played a rousing game of tag before we headed home.  The teacher will fire our creations in her kiln during the week, then we'll get to paint them next Saturday.
