Clay is always so much fun to work with. It just brings out the imagination in a way not many other art products are able to do. I made up 4 colors of the cooked salt/flour clay and gave each participant 4 balls of clay, an OJ lid and a few toothpicks. We had magnet strips available for those who wanted to create a magnet. Some of the sculptures got far too big to hang but the diversity was fun to see from a giraffe with spots to a volcano to flowers to a dragon head. We got kind of an over run of people past our ticket amount but everyone shared some clay to let the extras work on a project too. The recipe for this clay is on the other page.The Family Arts and Crafts group meets at the Wells Branch Community Library every Wednesday night at 6 pm taught by Dianne Koehler, artist. The program lets us turn donated or recyclable materials and imagination into great projects.
