Clay Lab for Kids: 52 Projects to Make

Clay Lab for Kids, a new addition to Quarry’s Lab series, focuses on kid-friendly clays–air-dry, homemade, and polymer–that are safe and easy to use at home or in the classroom; no kiln required. Nashville art teacher Cassie Stephens makes clay a focus of her classes with amazing results. In Clay Lab for Kids, she continues her creative explorations with 52 hands-on projects ranging from 2-D monster magnets and coats of arms, to 3-D bobble-head dolls, Day of the Dead skulls, animal friends, marionettes, and treasure boxes. In creating with clay, kids are introduced to a wide range of cognitive and manual skills: they’ll work three-dimensionally; make figurative models; use their imaginations in making jewelry and toys; design with color; and decorate with paints.
