Make a Leaf Imprinted Air Dry Clay Bowl
Summer is here and the plants are taking over! You can use all those spare
leaves to create a leaf imprinted bowl of your choice. This quick and easy
project used an elephants ear leaf and some Plus air drying clay.
Select the leaf of your choice looking for the size and shape you prefer.
Roll out some Plus Air dry clay to around 1/4 of an inch thick and place
the leaf on top. Roll your clay roller or rolling pin over the top of the leaf
so that the leaf imprints onto the clay.
Cut around the imprinted clay to obtain your desired bowl shape
and size.
Either with your fingers or a tool smooth around the edges
with some water. Place the clay into a bowl to get a curved
shape.
Cookie cut out a heart or other shape for added decoration if
you wish.
Leave to dry completely. Sand around the edges if required.
Paint you bowl with your choice of paint and finishes.

The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston Uses Plus Air Dry Clay
used Plus Air Dry Clay to replicate 19th century pottery in a series of workshops in August 2015. The class rooms were large and seated as many as 55 participants. Each workshop was 30 minutes long, and with 4 workshops each day, gave a grand total of 600 participants over 3 event days.
Joey Milillo, programs manager, stated;
"We were using the ACTÍVA PLUS CLAY to make a project based on Bayou Bend’s collection of Texas 
stoneware. Our teaching artist taught participants how to replicate the 19th century jugs, pots, pitchers, urns, and churns. Since we do not have a kiln at Bayou Bend, an air-dry clay was essential to our task, and in my experience, ACTÍVA produces the best air-dry clay I’ve been able to find."
"I first encountered this clay at our local Texas Art Supply store in Houston, but they didn’t have quite enough in stock for what we planned to do this summer. Imagine my delight when I found out I could order it directly ACTÍVA Products!
