Clay Knee Masks - 'Freaky Faces'

After learning how to make these knee masks at a teachers workshop, I have finally had a chance to let a group of students have a go. Although we started off following the knee mask pattern, we ended up mainly working on a flat surface as it was easier to add details this way. Some students went with a more traditional face while others explored more of a Freak show/Circus theme. I love them all!

  2. Hi! I wanted to thank you for inspiring me to make a version of this project with my summer campers. I have pictures up on our Facebook page (link: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.535187193183799.1073741827.107322879303568&type=1&l=b1f61c8c09 )The kids absolutely loved the fact that we were making something over our knees! and even the youngest campers (going in to 1st) did a great job. I found this project on Pinterest (here: http://pinterest.com/pin/179088522655145070/) BTW. Love your blog!!
