Step 2:
- Grab a piece of paper or cardboard and draw out your shape.
- We used a heart but you can do any shape you like.
Step 6:
- Anywhere you put your outside coil together make sure to scratch both surfaces and use a small amount of water to push them together and smooth out.
Step 7:
- Take similar amounts of clay and create more coils. Wrap the coil up like a cinnamon roll and fit them inside your shape.
Step 9:
- Using small coils or different shape clay balls completely fill in the interior of your shape.
Step 10:
- Use your fingers to push all of your coils and shapes down and together.
- Make sure not to erase your lines, they are important to the look of your masterpiece.
Step 12:
- Take your wood knife and use the round end to smooth out the bottom and connect all of your clay together.
- Important! This will make sure it doesn’t fall apart.
Step 13:
- You can use a small amount of water to smooth out more with your finger or a paintbrush.
- No puddles!
Congratulations!
Once you’ve finished your coil heart, carefully, with an adult, wrap it in the bubble wrap. Then put it back in the box that it came in, you will probably want to put some newspaper around it so it won’t move around.
Have an adult bring the box back to Mighty Mud, make sure, with a marker, they put a name and phone number so that we can let you know when they are ready.
We will fire your clay and glaze it in the kiln. Coil heart Pick up and drop off Hours: 11-3 Mon-Sat
