Learn how to make clay leaf bowls with leaf printing
Equipment
- Air Dry Clay
- A large leaf
- Bowl
- Cling film
- Rolling pin
- Knife
- Paint (optional)
Instructions
- Roll the clay into 1/4? slabs using rolling pins
- Place a large leaf over the clay- facing up so that the veins are down. Go over with the rolling pin to make an imprint.
- Use the knife to trim around the leaf.
- Smooth the rough edges with one finger and a bit of water.
- Lay some plastic wrap, a paper towel or a thin cotton cloth inside of a disposable paper bowl. Lay your clay leaf inside of the bowl and gently press it down to take its new shape.
