Shaping clay by hand
Age 8 · Crafts
Open to everyone until Thursday, November 12
To keep it, print it while it is open.
Soft clay can be changed into new shapes with just your hands. You can press, roll, pinch and join pieces to build a small object.
In the picture
- Pressing: pushing the clay with thumbs and palms makes a bowl shape
- Rolling: rolling clay between your palms and the table makes a long snake
- Pinching: squeezing the clay with two fingers makes small parts like ears
- Joining: smoothing the seam with a little water makes two pieces stick together
Examples
- Pressing a ball of clay open to make a small bowl
- Pinching ears and a tail on a clay animal and joining them on
Key takeaways
- Pressing, rolling and pinching change the shape of soft clay
- Pieces stick together best when you smooth the seam with a little water
