It has been a while since I have written anything for my blog . The last post was on water colours - trying to understand the medium. Very soon I will start with lessons on how to use these mediums, as a learner we face lot of challenges , on how to handle them , what are the different ways to use them to make different kinds of paintings.
Last few days have been very busy with workshops. The latest one going on is on Thai Clay flower making . So today will share with you all how to go about making Thai Clay flowers.
The first and foremost thing is what all material you need to make flowers using Thai Clay.
Material Needed-
1. Thai Clay
2.Tools - Ball tool (it comes in three sizes- big , medium, small ), Veining tool, Knife tool , Poking tool, Frilling tool , Golf tool, Square tool
3. Cutters - There are different cutters available for different flowers. The cutters come as a set for flowers and leaves together.
4. Floral wires - The floral wires are available in different thickness, which are used differently for making leaves, stems and flowers.
5. Pasta Sheets - The pasta sheets are used to roll the clay.
6. Pasta Machine or rolling pin -- Both pasta machine and rolling pin can be used to roll the clay. It's as per our convenience. Both of them work well . How to use them will be explained in the upcoming blogs and you tube videos.
7. Colours - Oil colours , Acrylic colours or water colours can be used to add colour to clay depending on the brand of the clay one is using . The thai clay manufacturers at times have their own specifications as to what colour mediums can be added to clay.
8. Cold cream or vaseline
9. Craft glue / Fevicol / Super dry feviquik
10. Floral Tapes
11. Pollens
12. Buds
13. Cling Wrap
