I think I did pretty well during the presentation. I found that I avoided looking in people’s eyes during it because I am socially awkward. I feel that I could’ve been more prepared during the presentation. For example, I could’ve practiced my presentation a lot more the night before instead of winging it with my […]

Making the Presentation
This week is the final week before the presentations and I should start making the presentation before it’s too late. For the last genius hour I brought tools that I used to make a frame. This time I’ll probably do the same but I will also bring all the clay things I made including lots […]
Struggles
I finally added descriptions to the clay things that I am proud of, but there are still some more photos I have to add. I definitely made more than nine things during genius hour. Something I found that I struggled with is motivation. Instead of struggling with time management I had a hard time finishing […]

Things I Learned so Far
These two weeks I have been learning how to work with air dry clay. I found that the ones from Dollar Store are really fragile and they dry REALLY quickly. I have found that adding small details not attached to the main body is really hard because they usually break off. This week I have […]
Contacting Experts
So for my project I decided to make tiny clay things. I discovered from other people’s projects last time that you should find your expert earlier on so that they will answer before the project ends. I kept searching if there was a clay charm business because that’s super close to making tiny clay things. […]
