3 Hours - All Levels

Friday Afternoon 2 - 5

Students will take gourd pieces (for a turtle) and a gourd bowl and apply two types of modeling paste to create this quaint bowl with the turtle trying to catch the wind and silk critter.  Students will learn to apply the modeling paste to create the ocean and wave tops.  They will then paint the bowl inside and out with flat black.  They will then use a rake brush to apply the extreme glitter for ocean wave affect.  They will also learn how to paint the turtle using acrylic paints.  Students will then be given instructions on how to attach the dried cholla cactus, turtle, and silk critter (butterfly, dragonfly or bumblebee) to the top of the bowl.  Students should have a completed project at the end of class.
