Clay for Kids - Scouts and Guides

LEADERS DO SOMETHING NEW AND FUN THIS YEAR!

Congratulations Belinda Anger of the 60th Sparks who won a free class for the Calgary Guide Fair!

Invite Clay for Kids to your meetings. We will bring all necessary equipment, clay and our "one-of-a-kind" pottery wheel for a wheel throwing demonstration for your children. Each child will then create a hand built project. We will take all the projects to our studio and dry, fire and return the work to your home or meeting place. With your finished projects will supply a list of suggested methods to finishing and painting the projects. 

Clay for Kids will be introducing a Project Painting Class as of September 2008.

 The opening presentation and the Clay for Kids program fullfil the requirements for earning a craft Badge.

Procedures for a Program

The following is a brief outline of how your program will proceed:

  1. We will need a table or desk located near an electrical outlet for the pottery wheel demonstration. Participants each need a spot to work at on a table.
  2. There should be one package of paper towels and an ice cream bucket or a bowl filled with water on the instructor's table.
  3. During a ten to fifteen minute demonstration at the start of the class, we will talk to the children about clay and make a cup on our pottery wheel.
  4. We will then give the initial instructions for the desired project. The children will return to their table and proceed with their project, stopping once or twice to receive additional instructions.
  5. The children will need individual or shared small containers of water and 2 round double- pointed toothpicks.
  6. Please remember to provide name tags for each child.
