Clay Fish

  • Step 1To create each fish break off a small amount of clay.
  • Step 2Roll this into a ball and then flatten the ball out into a flat circle.
  • Step 3Mould the edges of the clay circle into the shape of a fish. Look to our designs for inspiration or come up with your own.
  • Step 4Use a scratch board tool to poke dots and lines into the fish to create scales and a face. Once you are happy with the shape of each fish leave them to dry.
  • Step 5The clay will take 24-48 hours to dry. Rotate the fish throughout this process so they dry evenly.
  • Step 6Once dry apply a coat of metallic silver paint. Allow to dry.
