Whether it is a relaxed craft evening at home, a creative weekend project or crafting together with the family: from the air-drying clay you shape and model bowls, figures and little works of art entirely without a kiln. Afterwards you turn your piece into a colourful one-of-a-kind with the white basecoat, the acrylic paints and the gloss varnish.

How to use

First cover your work surface, because clay and paints can leave stains. Then take a piece of clay, shape and model your piece and work out the details with the five tools. Let the clay dry in the air, then apply the white basecoat and paint your piece with the acrylic paints. Finally, the gloss varnish provides protection and shine. The step-by-step instructions guide you through every stage.

Tips and tricks

• Start with simple shapes like small bowls and work your way up
• Do not skip the white basecoat — it makes the colours shine
• Use the sponge for soft colour gradients and textures
• Let the paints dry well before you apply the varnish
