The students continued their clay exploration today. Our soon-to-be classmate, Quentin, commented that the clay felt soft and cold. He also thought it was both smooth and rough. Everti much preferred to use the dry clay instead of the moist batch and commented that it was easier to hold. Sheva was the first student to make a ball out of the clay and her friends all followed suit. She also delighted herself by figuring out how to make a coil of clay by rubbing it between her palms. It was amazing to see the younger students take such interest in the medium and I expect their skills will improve tremendously throughout the next several weeks.
