Today, in a twist on water painting, we experimented with "water spray painting." The children created bubbles of water on paper using a spray bottle and then tapped them with paint brushes, watching with fascination as the paint traveled almost instantaneously throughout the water bubbles.

Clay Glazing

Today we glazed the clay pieces we've been working on over the past few days. Our brown and grey clay is now full of color and ready for the kiln! 

Do we have white glaze? - Caleb
Unfortunately, no. - Jordan
I need white to paint my moon. - Jordan
What about yellow or blue? Could you use those colors? - Caleb
You could use yellow. Last night I stayed up and saw the moon. It was yellow. That was a full moon - Yoyo
That's a good idea. Ok, I'll use yellow. - Caleb
