HOMEWORK TO PREPARE FOR CLASS TWO In the video Claire says it's the homework for the first class, but it's not! TIP: to figure out the right size to make your shapes, lay them on the paper plate or draw directly on it.
HOMEWORK TO PREPARE FOR CLASS THREE
TIP: Before class, make two identical patterns using the watercolour paper provided that measure 27.5 cm by 6.5 cm. These are for the walls of the bowl. You will need the bisque mold that looks like a small bowl for this class too.
HELPFUL ITEMS: a large yoghurt container (empty) or a small peanut butter jar (it's ok if it is empty or full) something to mark a circle that is 5 to 6 cm wide such as a circle cookie cutter, a small drinking glass or a jam jar
