Description

Make decorative fungi from air drying clay

Resources

Air drying, non-toxic clay.
Knife or clay wire to cut clay into individual portions.
Sandwich bags if portioning up in advance.
Florist wire 15cm lengths.
Pliers or side cutters to cut wire.
1 table per six.
Polystyrene blocks to push sculpture wires into when drying.
Cleaning cloths.
In a future session acrylic paint to add colour to the fungi sculptures.

Instructions

For each fungi sculpture you need 1 wire with a small bend, loop or spiral at the end.
Squeeze a blob of clay onto the bent end of the wire.
Use fingers and clay tools to model the clay into a mushroom shape.
Carefully push the wire ends into the polystyrene block to support the sculpture while it dries.
Clear up, returning excess clay to the clay bag and wipe down tables with wet cloths.
