Fat Boy and Fat Girl - 5 inches tall Figurines

When we received this order we have no idea what characters are they. It seems like a Korean series character. (Sorry we are not Korean or Japanese series fan as we are too tied up with our work. ^_^ ) Luckily the customer shared quite a number of pictures and even video from youtube on how this fat boy and fat girl looks like. At least we have some idea on it. We have to admit it is not 100% look alike. What we can say is we try our best to make similar as much as possible.

The actual look  :

Strawberry Garden Polymer Clay Figurine

From time to time we need to think of different projects to conduct clay workshop we plan to have. We have few regular students who visit us every Sunday to have fun and also learn as much project as possible. So we have to continuous keep thinking of what to teach almost every week. Due to this, we need to get a lot of references either from the internet or the clay books we bought for more ideas.

The next project we plan to teach our dear loyal students are what i called it "The Strawberry Garden". This is not what we have created our own. We got this idea from a clay book we bought on-line. Something we think the students will enjoy doing it. If you find this is something you would like to explore and learn to make one yourself; do contact us, we can arrange a customised workshop just for you to learn what you want to make.

Customised Clay Workshop for a friends-get-together activity

Most of the time when we meeting up some friends are usually for a drink, a meal, go for movies etc. My friends and I made it something different. Attending clay workshop as a get-together activity. My friends know i teach clay craft and few of them are quite interested to find out more about this handicraft , so they decided to organise a clay craft class (of coz the instructor would be me :P ) just last weekend. I asked them what exactly they want to make. One of them has a cute little dog picture and suggested to make this dog. Before the class begin, i have made a sample so they will have a better idea how it will looks like as a figurine. We talked and laughed as all of them are first timer, you will see all sorts of funny shape of doggy being created by each of them. All of us enjoyed the moment and of course planning to have another workshop session soon. What they want to learn next? They told me they want to make Doraemon. :P

So if you and your friends are clay craft lovers and would like to get together in a small group for some activities. I am sure attending a clay moulding workshop will be one of a ideal get together moment.
