The Air-Dry Clay Workshop Handbook

Turn a lump of air-dry clay into a collection of thoughtful handmade pieces. This illustrated guide takes you through the essentials—from setting up your workspace and preparing clay to shaping, joining, drying and finishing your creations.

Inside, you’ll find ten guided projects, including sculptural loops, modern arches, decorative dishes, relief tiles and a pencil cup. Step-by-step instructions, technique illustrations, printable patterns and workshop worksheets help you plan each project and keep notes as you go.

Whether you’re new to clay or ready to build your skills, this handbook offers a welcoming place to experiment, learn and create at your own pace.
