Claywerks

I'm behind, once again. This is the first activity we did during Brynn's 6th Grade Camp Week. "Claywerks" is a ceramic and pottery studio that offers a variety of crafty opportunities. We chose to pay for an afternoon to pick out and paint ceramic characters offered at the studio. This is not a place to take young ones who won't be content to remain in a certain designated area for up to 2 hours. Lots of breakables and messy paint. No way would we have braved this adventure if our kids were younger!

We had a great time and spent 3 hours painting away. Once we were finished, we left our masterpieces over the weekend in order for them to be fired up in the kiln. Terry didn't quite get his dragon all painted, but it still turned out great! I chose to do a kissy frog. I love the big bright neon red lips! Brynn concentrated on the details of her fairy, and managed to get a couple more pieces painted as well. Emma took her time choosing her pieces, but once she had decided, there was no holding her back! Kara spent most of her time on her cow. She designed each black spot herself.   Livvy spent as much time as Emma did in choosing her animals. She loved painting them and was the first one finished! Luckily, she was willing to take over the photographer's job and didn't get too bored.

We will definitely visit Claywerks again. It was a great family field trip!
