We spent a couple weeks on the notion that God is the Sculptor and we are His materials. We expressed our artistic sides in a variety of mediums: clay, food, recycled household items, plastic, and soap, to name a few. I think everyone had his own favorite.

A friend loaned us their pottery wheel, and we threw air dry pots after watching technique on youtube.

The only rule was, "To Eat, You Must Create!"

The only instructions given after reading this awesome book were, "Make a sculpture."

Putting things together systematically (as opposed to the former free-form) don't make it less of a sculpture.

Note to self: Do NOT use deodorant/scented soap. I had to stay far away from this project--all we had was Lever Soap. Blech! The kids did really well. Brad carved a walkie talkie and use his carving tool as the antenna.
