How to make clay by hand

The manual steps of making clay are as follows:

1. First, make a pony's round head with clay, and bend the clay into an inverted "U" shape when doing the body.

2. The pony has big eyes, looks black and bright, and its ears stand on one side of its head, which looks cute.

3. Then we use gray to make a mane on the top of the pony, add a tail to the tail, and cut the elegant feeling of the tail with scissors.

Finally, make a neck decoration for the pony with yellow, and then stick it on the yellow background, so that the handmade pony is ready.

Clay is a kind of cohesive soil with little sand content, and it has good plasticity only when water does not easily pass through it. Generally speaking, clay is formed after silicate minerals are weathered on the earth's surface. Generally, it is weathered in situ, with large particles and composition close to the original stone. It is called primary clay or primary clay.

This kind of clay is mainly composed of silica and alumina, which is white and fire-resistant, and is the main raw material for preparing porcelain clay. Clay is a very popular hand modeling material in recent years. It has the characteristics of strong plasticity, environmental protection, non-toxic, tasteless, clean and non-sticky, and naturally air-dried without cracking. The works produced are vivid and realistic, reaching the realm of confusing the real with the fake.

At present, it is widely used in children's intellectual development, art teaching, doll making, and the applicable population includes children aged 3-5, students, handicraft lovers and so on.
