Air Dry Clay Decorations - Textured Clay Craft

Tutor: Rosie Johnson, sign writer, illustrator and artist

Join self-taught artist Rosie in this beginner-friendly session as she demonstrates how to make fun air-dry clay decorations, with a tea bag mixed in for texture.

You’ll be shaping and decorating your own air dry clay pieces, creating simple hanging decorations that you can personalise with painted designs and colour. Rosie shows how to use tea bags to add a soft, speckled texture, giving each piece a natural finish so no two decorations are the same.
