â–ºEarth clay

Ranked #6,252 in Arts & Design, #103,561 overall

Earth clay is available at craft shops and art supply stores, but buy it in solid form as it is messy to make up from powder. One kilo packages are usually available. Pieces of clay can be sliced off this hunk easily with a string tied to two empty thread reels.
Interesting textures can be made by scraping or pressing objects into the clay. Children may want to save the clay objects they have molded. Let the objects dry thoroughly and they can be painted or lacquered and glued onto a wooden base if desired. It Is not advisable to fire the clay products of young children as any air bubbles trapped In the clay will explode and someone will be very disappointed.
