Instructions

  • Pinch off a piece of clay of desired size.
  • Work clay by rolling on hard surface and/or kneading with hands.
  • To mold into a disc shape, roll clay into a ball and flatten (you can use the bottom of a glass for this). It’s easy to create small bowls, stones and unique shapes as well.
