Essential Clay Tips

Step 0
Identify peach, black, brown, blue gray, orange, red and yellow clay.
Step 1
Shape a small ball to the size of a grape using the peach clay to make the head.
Tip: Stretch and knead the clay to remove wrinkles and unevenness
Step 2
Shape a disc using the orange clay for the hair on the back of the head. Mold it into a bowl.
Step 3
Attach the head in the center of the brown clay. Wrap the brown clay around the head. Give a gentle roll to smooth it out.
Step 4
Shape two small crescent shapes using the peach clay to make the ears. Flatten them. Attach them on either side of the head.
Set the head aside and let the clay rest for 5 to 10 minutes so that it can firm up to prevent it from getting squished. This helps the clay become less sticky making it easier to lift and adjust pieces later without them sticking together.
Step 5
For the body, using black clay in the size of a ping pong ball, shape a small cylinder with a tapered top.
Step 6
Press a dent at the bottom using your finger or knuckle to help him stand.
Step 7
Shape two long tear drop shapes using the orange clay for the hair on top of the head. Slightly flatten them. Place on top of head with the tips of the hair in front of the ears.
Step 8
Shape two crescent shapes using the orange clay for the fringe. Make one smaller than the other. Attach them on the front to frame the face, with the bigger crescent on the right.
Step 9
Roll two small ovals using the blue gray clay to make the eyes. Attach them on the front of the face. Keep them level, not lower than the ears.
Step 10
Attach the head on the body.
Tip: use water to help the head stick if the clay gets too dry
Step 11
Shape two long strings using the red clay and the yellow clay to make a scarf. Put them together, then twist them together. Gently roll to smooth it out.
Step 12
Gently flatten the scarf using the base of your palm. Cut one end using scissors. Attach the scarf beginning from the front, then around the neck area, and drape it down the right side. Trim excess clay with scissors.
Step 13
Shape two small cone shapes using the black clay for the arms.
Step 14
Shape two small balls using the peach clay to make the hands. Roll a short, thin string using the brown clay to make a wand. Gently flatten one hand and wrap it around the wand to hold the wand.
Step 15
Attach both hands on each arm. Attach the arms on either side of his body.The hand with the wand should be pointing up
