This innovative collection of projects presents something to make for every room, from a stone platter soap-dish for the bathroom, to a bright and cheerful chalkboard for a child's bedroom. The versatility of modelling clay means it can lend itself equally well to creating finely detailed pieces such as Florentine-style embossed boxes, or to objects, such as a lamp base, where large areas are covered quickly.

Each project is illustrated with step-by-step instructions and photographs, and a concise techniques section explains all you need to know to get started. If you have some experience of working with clay, these attractive projects, with their wide range of styles will inspire your creative skills. However, craft enthusiasts of all ages and abilities will relish the challenge of using modelling clay to create these stylish and elegant home accessories and gifts.
