Volume 00 — Start Here
Clay, joining and drying habits before you shape anything.
- 12 pages, read first
- Materials and tools
- One small test before project 01
50 creative air-dry clay projects with a face, and a surface you press yourself.
A continuous brow, a sleeping eyelid, one playful eye — or petals, flutes and a crescent moon. Shape the character first, then choose its surface.
Three surface techniques, taught properly
Pressed crochet, botanical marks and napkin decoupage. Each one has its own material stage, its own order of work and its own tests.
10 technique videos
Rolling to an even thickness, pressing a leaf and peeling it away, joining two pieces, sanding and painting. The moves that are easier to watch than to read
20 base forms, 30 recipes to combine them
Ten vessels with a face, ten sculptural forms. Every recipe tells you which base to build and where the decoration goes.
Real lace and real leaves do the work
A cotton crochet swatch, a leaf from the garden. You press, you peel it away, and the mark stays in the clay.
A printable starting guide in every project
Print at 100%, cut it out, and begin from the right shape instead of guessing the proportions.
Eight illustrated making steps per project
Overview, preparation, eight steps with checkpoints, finishing and troubleshooting. Eighty-two pages for the first ten pieces alone.
No kiln, no wheel, no studio
Grey air-dry clay from a craft shop, a rolling pin, a kitchen table.

I open this whenever I feel like making something but don’t know where to start. There’s always a project that makes me want to grab my clay.

I thought I’d get more into this hobby than I have. I still pick up the clay occasionally, but I haven’t made it a regular thing.

Questions before you start
Good questions. Clear answers.
Everything you might want to know before you clear a little space at the table.
Do I need a pottery wheel?
No. Every project is slab-built by hand, using the printable templates and simple hand-building tools.
I have never worked with clay. Is this for me?
Yes. Start with the Start Here guide: it walks you through your workspace, tools, and the sequence from a flat slab to a finished form.
Which clay should I buy, and how much
Any grey air-dry clay from a craft shop. Most pieces take 500 to 800 g, and every project states its own allowance on the first page. Keep a little extra for tests and offcuts.
Do I need special materials for the textures?
Only ordinary ones, and they are not included. For crochet impressions, a clean cotton swatch with clear stitches. For botanical marks, leaves from the garden. For decoupage, printed paper napkins and a decoupage medium. The Texture Lab explains how to choose each one and how to test it first.
How do the printable guides work?
You print them at home on A4 at 100%, Actual Size, and check the calibration square with a ruler before cutting. Solid outlines are starting shapes and dashed lines are placement guides, not cutting lines: they give you the proportions, then you adapt them to your own piece.
How do I receive the files?
Right after purchase you get a download link by email, and the files stay available from your order page. Everything is digital: 260 pages as a single file or as five separate volumes. No clay, tools or printed books are shipped.
