Clay Your Way by Lolita Olympia

Fun, simple and unique projects to make at home with air-dry clay!

Ceramicist Lolita Daskalu-Glover breaks down the key techniques you need to craft pieces to decorate your home with, with just a few tools and materials needed to make stunning creations.

Fill your home with cute homewares like a shell trinket dish, fridge magnets, a fruit basket, picture frames to hold precious memories and candlestick holders. Useful pieces such as an egg cup, a coil planter for your favourite plant, picnic coasters, a matchbox and even a clock make your creations practical for everyday usage. Lolita also includes accessories like a pendant necklace or bow key ring, to bring your creations and personal style to the outside world.

Learn basic techniques like pinching, rolling out a slab, rolling a coil, cutting, scoring and decorating with fun textures, paint and varnish. It’s totally up to you how you personalise and customise your clay projects.

Once you see how simple it is, you won’t stop rolling, building, creating – making clay your way.

Make your own pinch pots, jewellery holders and more – no kiln required.
