Coffee is some weird conglomerate of espresso, Starbuck's House Blend, cappuccino and hot chocolate from the Tassimo machine (I was caffeine-deprived). Today is the first day of Siyeh Glass Summer Camp and we are out of the gates with four campers in the 7-9 Glass Craft Camp.
It's only the first day and I've already changed the program around--Todd has them in the morning and I have them in the afternoon (hence my being able to post right now :-). This morning they got their art baskets--their totes of camp goodies and supplies from pencils and sketchbooks to sidewalk chalk and paints--from Mr. Todd. Then the fun began...
Today's project was to draw a fish bowl o
n paper in the morning, and then this afternoon to translate the picture to glass and make a plate that would be slumped. Danny started the slide sideways by asking if he could do a dinosaur instead of a fishbowl. Then the girls decided to draw their favorite Pokemon characters instead of a fishbowl. Then they all wanted to do square instead of round pieces...
Clearly they had too much energy so after snack Todd filled water balloons for them and we herded them all out back by the picnic table. No, we didn't line them up and splatter them ourselves (tempted though we were). Instead we set up Steve (the big aluminum man) on some old glass crates and let them have at it. After much wet hilarity, we brought them back inside to finish up their drawings. It's now about time for lunch, and this afternoon I take over and it will be time for GLASS! More pics tomorrow...
