Make your own air-dry clay in advance of this class with a simple recipe, then explore texture and touch as we mold something exciting.
This class meets via Zoom.
AGES 5-6
Materials Needed:
Air dry clay: recipe, popsicle stick, paints, small container of water, paper plate, newsprint or mat.
Air Dry Clay Recipe Options:
1 cup cornstarch
1 cup white craft glue (Elmer’s)
1 tablespoon vienegar
1 tablespoon vegetable oil.
Cook on stove on low heat for no more than 5 minutes stirring until a gooey cottage cheese consistency – turn on ventilation. Remove from heat and when cool knead in up to 1 cup cornstarch. Place in air tight container and refrigerate up to 2 weeks.
Alternate recipe, not as malleable:
1 cup flour
2 teaspoon cream of tarter
½ cup salt
1 table spoon vegetable oil
1 cup water
Blend together dry materials, make a well in center, add water and vegetable oil. Work dry and wet ingredients together until all mixed. Use additional flour to knead dough for 5-10 minutes until consistent. Use enough flour to keep from sticking, but too much will make dough dry. I use oil on my hands to keep from sticking.
Registration closes 2hrs before start of class. An email reminder will be sent out to registrants before class with Zoom link.
