Q & A
How to create a Vessel for Charity?
Richard Sean Manning aka The ClayMan is used as a series of how-to videos instructing students in age appropriate art lessons how to craft a vessel. A piece of clay is moulded into a receptacle/container. Small objects such as keys, buttons, zippers, pencils, markers, shells, jewellery or their fingertips may be used to imprint soft clay. The vessel is personalized by adding a touch of color and signing it.
