  Step 1

  Here are your supplies!

• 

  Step 2

  First, decide how much of each clay color you’d like to use. The clay comes with striations for easy cutting, and for this dish, I used:

  One full stripe of white clay
  Half stripe of gray clay
  Half stripe of beige clay
  Quarter stripe of black clay

  I like a more natural look for the bowls, so I like to concentrate on the more neutral colors as the bulk of the clay. Then for this bowl, I added in the following colors:

  Half stripe of green clay
  Quarter stripe of yellow clay

  Step 3

  After portioning the clay, I then used the “snake” method of rolling clay in my hands – you know, the one we all learned in preschool? It’s kind of fun, actually! I randomly created segments of about the same length and laid them out. Once laying them out, I squished them together and then twisted them. This is a process, and the more you twist, the more “marbled” your bowl will look. I suggest doing this 2-3 times, and once you are done, you can roll the whole bit of clay up into a ball.

  Step 4

  Ball of clay - now flatten it out on a surface covered in wax paper.

  Use a rolling pin or round object to flatten out the clay to be about 1/4″ thick. Depending on the size dish you’d like, use a cookie or biscuit cutter (or another object) to press out a circular shape in the rolled out clay.

  Step 5

  This next part was a bit hard to photograph, but basically, take the existing bowl and use it as a template for your own dish. Depending on the one you choose, you can use the inside or outside of the bowl as a guide.

  You can also try to freehand your dish. If you want to bake the bowl in the oven along with your clay, please be certain that it is made of a substance that can withstand oven temperatures.

• 

  Step 6

  Then, bake your bowl!

  The clay recommends baking at 275 degrees F for 15 minutes per 1/4″ thickness of clay. Do preheat your oven, and do not over bake.

• 

  Step 7

  Once your bowl is finished, let it cool, and finish off the edges with your metallic paint. I LOVE how this looks – it really gives it a polished edge worthy of your engagement ring.
