Mug Time

Mug Time.

Hello. Today Marie (the clay expert) came in to Enrich@ILT and took the kids that do clay for passion projects. She showed us how to make a mug/cup.

First she ran us through how to make them and how to score (make an X mark in the clay over and over) them together.

First we had to roll the clay out and then the next step was to wrap the cup of your choice in newspaper. This step was kind of hard at first but then when you got the hang of it, it was easy.

We ran out of time to finish it though so next week we are learning how to make the handle and what we do when we cut the top and bottom off the cup.
