Great video - i am starting my story with clay as an art teacher and I was just looking for a video like this one. Grear-thank you🎉

[brookemulvey]

Great video, thank you! 💕 I noticed that my students clay gets dry fairly quickly while working on their projects, do you have any tips or tricks I could use?

[blueblousedesigns]

Also keep bare thread spools for fun eye shapes

[KatherineBradshaw-dg]

what do you do with any clay scraps? I am doing a project that leaves a lot of leftover and i am not sure how to easily split it up evenly when its not in a block like it comes in.

Do you fire your examples first? My problem is that if I made examples first I wouldn’t have a full load to fill the kiln.
