Clay Modeling (no catchy title)

Madison gets festive with Christmas Tree

Jon with HackRAT - Unofficial HackRVA Mascot

We like our electronics, machines, robots, and tools around HackRVA. But sometimes we like to slow it down a bit. Get in touch with nature or whatever. That's when we break out the clay.

Madison showed up around Christmas and got handed a chunk of clay. A few hours later, a Christmas tree. John made the HackRAT on a day when we were all playing around with it. His was the best. I can almost see it twitching.

We still have a huge block of clay from Rosewood Pottery Studio here in Richmond (Like $20 for a huge, shoulder slumping, block). And there's rumor of a kiln being put into action at the space. I'm actually looking at it right now, it just needs some setup.

I'm also interested to see what we can do with hand modeling clay in conjuction with our 3D scanner, blender, 3D printer. Make it with your hands, scan it, 3D print more?
