The kids wasted no time painting a few tiles of their own….  Just some brushes, glaze, some 6×6 bisque tiles, and away we go!

Yayy, Hand Prints!

  By , , ,

Hand prints are one of my favorite things to do with kids.  Its simple, its fun to get messy, and they really mark time in a special way.  Its a little time capsule that they can look back on for the rest of their life.  I always use low-fire glazes for this kind of thing, to protect the print while firing.

These kids are nearly pros!  They said that they had seen my “Sassy Linda” episode, on HGTV, over 50 times!  And they wanted to help finish their very own Sassy Family Caricature.  First off, everyone took a turn mixing the grout.
