Steps
Step 1Mix Claycrete according to the directions on the package. (1 lb. should make enough for one student.)
Step 2Use half of the Claycrete to shape a bowl on a 4" styrofoam ball or any bowl. Walls should be about 3/8" thick.
Step 3Attach 7-8 glass gems around the side of the bowl. With the other half of the Claycrete, form a base and add embellishments.
Step 4Sculpt additional details with clay modeling tools. Allow Claycrete to thoroughly set and dry overnight, then remove styrofoam ball or bowl.
Step 5Paint with acrylic or tempera paint. Let dry.
