Clay is one medium that I just love using. I love watching my children literally mold their creativity into the clay. The same thing happens when we play with play dough, but the best difference is that with the clay we can save their creations. If clay is air dry, we let it sit out to dry and then we are left with a beautiful masterpiece that we can save forever. Clay crafts have zoomed quickly to the top of my crafting list.

I also like making things out of clay. I have made things to give as gifts and other times I have made things for home decor. I especially like to make holiday decorations out of clay.
