A simple, enjoyable way to teach clay to students
Let The Clay Lady support your clay-making or teaching endeavors by sharing over 35 years of experience, hand-built projects, curriculum, wheel lessons, class management, & firing schedules via instructional books, DVDs or inservices.
The Clay Lady’s Clay Paints are the heart of The Clay Lady Way. Clay Paints are prepared slips, formulated to use on just-made projects. Choose from 19 colors that do not change color in a low-fire C/05 firing. The Clay Lady’s Clay Paints are very inexpensive with an indefinite shelf life.
Let projects air-dry, then clear glaze and fire only once to complete. The Clay Lady’s once-firing schedule guarantees no blow-ups! Projects come out of the kiln colorful, shiny, food-safe, and will last forever!
“Take what you think, take what you feel, mix it all up and make something real.”
