Clay Flower Tutorials

Now that I have posted quite a few techniques about working with polymer and air dry clay I thought it was about time I shared some really useful and inspirational tutorials I have found over the years.
I will start my tutorials share with techniques for creating handmade polymer clay and air dry clay flowers. Some of these beautiful creations are so realistic it is hard to distinguish from the real thing. You will also notice that some of the tutorials are from cake decoration sites but the techniques for sugar craft are nearly all the same as clay crafts so is very easy to adapt the tutorials to clay.

Clay Work With Cold Porcelain

Cold Porcelain is similar to most air dry clay’s and is great for making different clay projects, especially flower sculptures, jewellery, figurines and cake toppers. It is also great to use with moulds as it retains fine detail and is easy to remove from the mould. It is now becoming more and more popular with professional clay artists and craft people. It is also a great craft clay to use for beginners for their clay art projects. This clay is perfect for making delicate flowers and petal sculptures as it can be stretched and rolled extremely thin, which results in very realistic looking floral effects.
