Leftover Art

Posted by Lisa Laree to Beer Lahai Roi
Because I want to reference this on this week's lesson on Ruth, I'm posting a bit of artwork:



During our monthly Night of Worship services at church, we have one corner dedicated to spontaneous artwork (I wrote a bit about it on the sewing blog: see Poured Out). One of the artists who works is a gentleman who is a potter; he brings in his wheel and some molds and works with clay.

Youngest DD, who is 11, was fascinated with this from the start, and began by watching and making suggestions, then the next month she helped make a pot, then she began making some things under the artist's supervision.

Last month, she made a pot, and, after she was done with the pot, she took the scrap pieces of clay and pushed them together and made that plaque at the top of today's post.

The pieces were glazed and fired last weekend and this piece, because it was made of scraps pushed together, cracked apart when it was cooling after being fired. My Sweet Baboo found some strong glue and mended the split.

Things to note and remember: It was made of leftovers; it cracked when fired; it was mended by her Father. ;)
