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.This blog features art classes in the Wells Branch community taught by Dianne Koehler, artist. The programs lets us turn donated or recyclable materials and imagination into great projects.
