[Clayart] ideas for little folk projects‏

[Johanna San Inocencio]

Another option when working with kids is the Clay lades clay paint. These are slips that you can paint on wet to leather hard clay. A quick dip in clear glaze and they look great. One thing I really love about them is the colors stay the same and easy clean up.
