** How to craft with clay**?
*** Basic equipment needed***

. Also, when making things like earrings, you need a nose pliers to bend and connect the copper wire. A baking paper is needed when baking the clay and making it, and a paper cutter is needed to cut our clay craft from the baking paper. A hand drill for making holes and a cutter. If this cutter is available, we can either buy it from the shop or we can make it.
*** How to create***
- We can make the desired color by mixing 2 or more types of colors. The clay mixed by hand should be uniformly flattened with a roller. We can get the marble design by mixing 2 colors. After that, you need to cut it to the desired shape with a cutter. Roll it especially well with a roller to get rid of bubbles. After that, you have to remove the creation from the oil paper using the paper cutter. After that, the clay should be baked in the oven. We need to bake the clay we have taken, the temperature and time are mentioned in the package and we need to bake the creation at that temperature. If it is underbaked, this craft will break, so it should be baked very well.*
