What To Do When Summer Is Less Summery--Make Clay Sculptures--Of Course!

Usually, during the summer, we'd recommend going outside and doing some cool art projects like sidewalk chalk drawing or urban sketching.  But we see in the forecast for Portland, Oregon, we're in for a few more days of overcast, cooler weather.  What do we recommend during the less summery days of summer?  When it feels a little colder than summer should be, it's a great idea to get out that bag of clay and do some fun sculpture projects like a clay dragon!  

In the video below, Trista the artist shows you step-by-step how to make a clay dragon.  It's a fun way to take advantage of cooler weather and gray skies.  Your clay won't dry as quickly as on a hot, sunny day, giving you more time to sculpt as carefully as you need to.

Of course, we wouldn't leave you hanging if you don't have a big bag of clay at your home.  You can get a full clay art kit, including tools and the clay on our website.  Click this link to be brought to the full clay kit.
