DECO Clay


I have recently made a new discovery that I'm so excited to pursue.   I was just perusing through different craft websites and I came across this beautiful new art called Deco Clay.  It's a new form of clay art that is only taught through the DECO clay academy.  I was amazed at how these artists could create almost life like looking floral arrangements out of clay!!

It's amazing what you can do with clay.   I decided to check out the website and see if they offer classes around me and I was extremely lucky to find one teacher in my city.  Most of the classes are offered in Hawaii and instructors are rare on the mainland.  

I've already played around with the clay and have experimented with creating roses.   I'll have to admit that it's not as easy as I had originally thought, but I'm definitely improving.  I'll continue to post my progress and hopefully one day create beautiful clay floral arrangements.
