Clay Design Ideas – It all started a long time ago, I was reading one of my favorite artist books (Mindful Thoughts for Artists by Georgina Hooper) and had a girlish urge to step outside of myself and try another art form, so I wrote this in my notes. :

At this point, I didn’t give up, but looked for alternatives and then came across air dry clay. A few days later a friend of mine (who is also a painter) posted a video of her clay sculpture and I was like bingo, this is what I need. So I asked her and she was kind enough to give me the details on where to find the materials and all that jazz!

This was my first air dry clay creation and I was obsessed with how perfect it looked (yes because it broke later :)).
So, with that being said, here is a beginner’s guide on how you can start playing and enjoy. I’ve also included a list of easy clay project ideas (with pictures) that you can try as a beginner.
