“You cannot drop the drop molds! They are made of plaster, so they could crack. Please be careful.”
I am lucky to have a calm, respectful group of young tweens in my Saturday Art School. They respect me and my advice, but since they are kids they often get overly excited and make a goof here and there. Today we had some clay go through the slab roller with no canvas to protect it, and of course I wasn’t really annoyed, but I felt that I had to a stink. I wanted to make it into an example of how important it is that we respect the studio space.They bought it. I stressed that I didn’t care who did it just that it never happened again, and I am positive it wont.
So we created bowls using drop molds. It was a great day for experimentation.
