The Rollifolk.: Introducing Rollifolk the Clay People.

by Brian Rollins

Overview

The models in this project book are designed to be robust and simple to make. The models are built using basic pottery techniques and will help to reinforce and build on the skills introduced in our "Clay modelling" series: - "Simple Animals volumes 1 & 2." And the slightly more complex project book "Upright Animals". We use the same style of step by step text instruction backed by still photos of each significant stage. Instructions with worksheets allow you to make each of the figures shown on the cover. Also included is a section I have called "Variation on a Theme" which introduces an alternative style of fashioning the arms, effectively doubling the number of models available to make. Design Your Own Rollifolk Person is meant as a challenge to students who learn to apply the techniques and can demonstrate the skills to produce their own models based on the techniques.

About the Author

Author Biography.
Brian Rollins.
Engineer by trade, potter by conviction.
I have always enjoyed drawing and painting and went 3 dimensional producing pottery almost 30 years ago.
Over the years we have worked mainly with children in local schools and at Haigh Hall Country Park in Wigan where we have had a craft unit base for almost 25 years. Working as B & M Potterycrafts with Maureen, my wife.
I taught pottery in college for ten years working with children and adults with special educational needs.
Having an engineering background all the projects that we developed over the years are documented. I have started developing this information to create project style manuals and tutorials to pass the knowledge on to interested parties.
I have also made interactive videos of the projects for use on computer screens or interactive whiteboards in schools.
Enjoy your clay modelling.
Brian.
