Two Scout Night Options

(because different pins & badges require different activities)

 

                1. Paint-Your-Own-Pottery

                   -The leader can pick pieces to paint ahead of time or let parents decide an individual price limit.

$5 + price of piece /scout  (pieces are $3 & up)

 

                2. Play with Clay then Paint

                   - Come the first week to build two pieces out of clay, and meet back a t Alpaca Art the next week to paint it.

                    Some pieces may include slab pot, coil pot, pinch pot, figurine, or decorative sculpture.  If you need certain

                    pieces, let us know otherwise we will decide.

$12 per scout                           

 

Upon Request, we will explain &/or demonstrate the process of clay creations, glazing & firing.  We can also explain & review pottery terms such as bat, wedging, throwing, leather hard, bone dry, greenware, bisque, terra-cotta, grog, slip, score, earthenware, stoneware, porcelain, pyrometric cone & glaze.  -Make sure to let us know ahead of time so we may be prepared.
