We've had a busy two days in camp- here's a recap:
Tuesday morning we took aluminum cans and turned them into animals by adding materials like egg cartons, cardboard and paper mache... We let them sit out to dry for 24 hours. Here are pictures of the campers getting gooey:
This afternoon we tie-dyed our camp t-shirts (which I ordered in white for this purpose). First we soaked the shirts in cold water and wrung them out. Then, we rolled, twisted and bunched the shirts and then bound them with loads of rubber bands. We had to let them soak in this tub of soda ash mixed with 6 gallons of hot water for 20 minutes. 
When we were done, we went out to courtyard to dye the shirts with squirt bottles of dye. It was MESSY but FUN:
This morning (Wednesday), we first glazed the bowls we made on Monday. Campers had to be VERY careful with the delicate greenware as they glazed their pieces, which will be fired in the kiln tomorrow. Here are a few waiting for overglaze:

This afternoon we created delicious hamburger collages with construction paper that could make your mouth water:
Meanwhile, our high school helpers helped undo the tie-dye shirts and rinse them- they are awesome, don't you think???
