Hello! Welcome to Clay Projects for Schools. Simple, fun, creative, tried and tested projects for children using clay. No experience necessary from adults or children. All projects are made with up to four simple shapes, a ball, a bean, a sausage and a carrot. Each resource has a demonstration, step by step photographic instructions and preparation notes. I have over 25 years experience creating clay projects for children in schools and museums and am also a TA in Primary Schools.

How to make slip - a guide for teachers

Slip is a creamy thick liquid made from clay and water. Potters use slip to join and stick pieces of clay together. Here are simple, school friendly, step by step instructions on how to make it so that your children can use it to stick things together when making things out of clay. All you need is some clay, some water, a paintbrush and a recycled tub with a resealable lid. I have also included a short video showing how to make it.
