About This Class

Imagine being able to create professional-grade, delicate, and durable art using a clay you made yourself in your own kitchen!

Cold Porcelain is a favorite among miniature artists and floral sculptors worldwide because of its incredible flexibility, smooth finish, and strength. Unlike traditional ceramics, it requires no kiln or oven—it simply air-dries to a beautiful, stone-like finish.

In this class, I am pulling back the curtain to show you exactly how to make this "magic" medium from scratch. Whether you are a total beginner or an experienced crafter looking to save money on supplies, this course will give you the skills to create a high-quality clay that rivals any store-bought brand.

What You Will Learn

This is a comprehensive guide that takes you from the history of the medium to your very first finished sculpture. We will cover:

The Origins: A brief look at the history of Cold Porcelain and why it’s a staple in the art world.
Essential Materials: What you need to get started (most items are already in your kitchen!).
The Perfect Recipe: My step-by-step cooking and mixing process for a "no-fail" batch.
Coloring & Blending: How to mix oil and acrylic paints into your clay for vibrant, lasting colors.
Storage Secrets: How to keep your clay fresh and usable for months.
Working Techniques: Tips for sculpting, preventing cracks, and achieving fine details.
