I want to teach you art-'sculpting' of all things using air-dry clay that we sometimes mix with mud found in our backyards. We will make animals such as frogs, chameleons, fish and crabs. We will talk about symbolism and how many cultures around the world consider them to be totems representing renewal. I hope in some small way these experiences will bring you closer to nature and provide you with a brief moment of peace. We sometimes may find that woven between the solace and play of creating you must also face your mistakes, trial and error cycles, frustrations, smoothing out bumps, and repairing deep and superficial cracks. We pull in strategies not least of which is a sense of humor and a willingness to accept that we are all trying to do the best that we can. You notice that this process holds a mirror up to life. I want you to believe, as I believe-in the magic of Art. I want you to notice that turning a malleable blob of clay into something imaginative can open your heart.

How to Find Clay & Make a Pinch Pot With It - just for FUN!
Checking in as an honorary student: Present! Thank you 😊
This really helped, I’m making a Baldi’s basics school with the school made out of cardboard and paper and paint and the charecters and items are made out of clay, the box I’m making it in is huge, thank you for giving me some great tips (dude Ik I sound like a bot but I’m not idk why I type like this)
The reusability of it is great for beginners. You aren’t as scared of messing up or really just going for it and experimenting because you know, meh, who cares, I can just smash it down and rewet it if needed.
My teacher in school used to lay wet paper towel dampened with just a bit of water and peroxide (I guess to inhibit mold?) and she’d lay that right over top the tubs of clay too, then put saran wrap over that. Edit* saran not sedan lol
What a sweet woman you are! So calming. I feel like this is the sort of video I should follow when feeling super anxious and just need something to keep my mind and hands busy. But it’s also great at just learning how to work with crayons air dry
Thank you!
The ornaments I made and saved on a shelf in my craft room crumbled! I’m thinking about trying polyurethane to preserve them - any ideas?
Hi Michele, great video, thank you for taking the time to make this. This may be a bit off topic but i wanted to use the clay to make a piece of water proof slate for a bonsai forest. Can the resin be applied with a brush after the slate is made or does it have to be poured on?
Hi. If you are going to use resin you should follow the instructions on the product. Some resins are best poured and some can be brushed on. If you are starting from scratch, and want your slate to be totally water proof I would suggest making it out of epoxy clay. There are several brands to choose from such as Apoxy Sculpt, Milliput, and Epoxy Clay. www.amazon.com/Epoxy-Clay-Self-Hardening-Sculpting-Repairing/dp/B0C7ZDQCTF/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=1TLOL4ZKWYVTP&keywords=apoxie%2Bsculpt&qid=1699921379&sprefix=apoxy%2Bsculpt%2Caps%2C133&sr=8-1-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&th=1
I never thought to kneed it through a zip loc. Thanks
:)
Do you have any cheaper options for just a water resistant coating? I've heard people suggest strong pva glue, clear nail polish etc
Hi Katy, I would try Mod Podge first. They have an outdoor version. www.amazon.com/Mod-Podge-Waterbase-Outdoor-CS11220/dp/B001681ZA4/ref=sr_1_1?crid=30C1KS30HOXMP&keywords=modge%2Bpodge%2Boutdoor&qid=1686282881&sprefix=modge%2Bpodge%2Boutdoor%2Caps%2C126&sr=8-1&th=1
@@MicheleOgilvie-Artist-Teacher i didn't know that! Thank you! ☺
@@katyb2793Good Luck... Let us know how it goes!
Thank you so much I really wanted to know how much was in the bucket of clay I’ve been looking at so many videos and this is the only video I have found that shows me how much is in the clay bucket thank you❤
I'm so glad!
Hello! thank you so much for the tutorial. this helps a lot and I got air dry clay not knowing how or what to do with it. this really helped. and by the way your peacocks are beautiful.
i love frogs🤩🤩😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😀😀😀😃😃😃😃😃😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Awwwww! Me too!
Thank you for letting me know that bone dry clay could be turned Back into its squishy state of form I had a cube cat sculpture and its legs that are like cubes would fall off I replaced them but now I don’t know what to do with the other dry ones and now I know Thank you so much
@CJ I'm so glad that it worked out for you. Thanks for letting me know!
Thank you for this video. I have a tiny ornamental tea set. The handles are broken off the sugar container. Can I attach handles made from this clay directly to the container or do I need to glue them on?
Hi Roz. If your ornamental tea set is made with air dry clay you can glue to make repairs. However the bond will not be strong and will probably continue to break. That said, if it is made out of ceramic you will want to use an epoxy glue.
@@MicheleOgilvie-Artist-Teacher Thank you for your reply. Since you say gluing is possible, I will glue the handles on. I will use a mixture of E6000 glue and baking soda. I've used that on occasion with some other ceramic figurines. I saw a video which said that pilots even use this mixture on private plane parts. It is super strong. But I never tried it with the air dry clay. After I glue the handles, I will sit the little set on a shelf. So I don't think the handles will get disturbed after I glue them on. Thanks again.
Hi Roz, Yes E6000 is great glue. That should work as long as it's not disturbed while curing. A favorite fast setting glue that I use a lot is "Bob Smith Industries BSI-157H Maxi Cure/Insta-Set Combo Pack (3 oz. Combined),Clear"... Available on amazon. I like this system because it is so strong and instantly cures with the spray activator. Good luck with your piece. Sounds like you have this figured out!
I bought this clay but it's very sticky to work with what can I put on my hand so that it wont stick. Thanks
Generally it's only sticky when it's too wet. You could probably use some talcum powder or cornstarch. I've never had that issue, but adding a little non-toxic starch seems like it could dry it out a bit and make it less sticky. That said, you want your clay to be moist and malleable so that it doesn't crack while forming.
I totally got sidetracked after seeing your peacock! How beautiful! Are these your pets? Now I need to know where you live? Oh how enchanting! Are the white ones also peacocks or some other bird? Sorry, your tutorial was very good, tfs🤗🐾🐈⬛🐾
HA! that's funny... the peacocks roam my neighborhood. I live in a jungle. ha ha The white ones are peacocks too. Yes.
the sound is often to low so am not sure what you are saying.
Thank you for the feedback. I know that is something I need to work on. I've noticed that too.
Just starting this thank you so much for explaining so beautifully appreciation and gratitude from Cali!🥰🙏🏾
Thank you Cali! It makes me very happy to know this has been useful! Happy creating!
Drying time ... ?
It's best to let it dry slowly. It depend on how thick and how large your piece is regarding compete drying time. I would say a few days to completely dry.
Very relaxing to watch you work this. 🤭
😊 thank you
This video was so helpful! I’ve been searching RUclips for a simple air dry clay tutorial to make my dad a Christmas present… and this three part video is super well explained and simple with just enough needed instructions to get right to the point! Keep up the great work😊
Thank you Chelsea. I'm sure your dad will love his present! I appreciate your comment. :)

Thank you for the kind words! :)
Hi do you know if UV resin is waterproof
UV resin is probably not waterproof. It should say on the container. Most things are not waterproof with this clay.
Hey I’ve had that clay for 3 years and the container that it’s in is air tight and my clay never dried out so by the way this is The most easy clay to use like literally ever
That's great. Even if it dries in the container, you can add a little bit of water to re-hydrate it.
Great!!
Thank you so much! I'm glad you found it useful!
This is great! You don't see many tutorials like this one using air dry clay. I want to try making some.
I'm so glad that you like it and that you want to try it! That's great! Thanks for letting me know.
you sound like an amazing teacher, i wish mine were like you. thanks for the clay review, micheals ran out and i didnt know if i should spend the $10
Thanks so much!
I bought some of this clay and it is so sticky to work with.
Wonderful idea! We will try this tomorrow!
Have fun!
Is it okay if I don't put cellofane to properly close it? We don't have cellofane and only zip-locks. 😁
yes. saran wrap or anything else that keeps it sealed from air is great.
where can i buy it? i live in europe so is there any website that ships in europe too
You can probably find a different brand of Air dry clay on Amazon that will ship to Europe. Pretty much all air dry clay has similar properties.
Please do a video on horse items for Breyer horses out of that clay
Thank you for creating this!! Such an important message for everyone to hear!! Beautiful, inspiring and thought provoking!
I loved this, all your thoughts. Thank you.
