Description
Class Experience
In this one time class we will use a polymer oven bake clay, such as Fimo or Sculpy, to make a mercat (half cat, half mermaid) figurine. We will discuss how to use small, simple parts in order to construct a larger, more complex figure. I will show step by step directions and discuss what I am doing, however, the younger learners may require parental assistance making the clay more malleable. We will also be using wire, soft aluminum wire is best. The students may require assistance cutting...
The students will need the following: * Sculpy or Fimo oven bake clay in a variety of colors. The colors are entirely up to them. * Wire, around 20-22 gauge. * Jewelry wire cutters or scissors that are safe and easy to use. * Basic clay tools. In the absence of the tools, a toothpick, or a large plastic sewing needle will work for most things. * A fine permanent marker to draw the eyes of our mercat. Alternatively, we can make tiny clay eyes. I am happy to provide links or photos of the materials upon request.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
45 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
Younger learners may require parental assistance making the clay more malleable. We will also be using wire, soft aluminum wire is best. The students may require assistance cutting the wire, depending on their age and ability. At the end of the lesson, once our unicorn is complete, the learners will need assistance with the use the oven in order to bake the completed project. Note to parents, please be sure to follow instructions when baking the clay. The temperatures for this kind of clay is often quite low (around 250 degrees), and is stated on the clay box or wrapper.
