Project Instructions
- Getting Started:
Start with clean hands, unwrap and knead clay until soft and smooth, or condition by running clay though a Pasta Machine. We recommend using a designated machine for clay purposes only. When working with multiple colors, clean hands with soap and water or baby wipes (we have found that baby wipes work best) before switching colors. Shape clay, pressing pieces firmly together. Wash hands after use.
- Baking (also called Curing):
From 1/2 bar of Cabernet, make a thick log. Border it with four thin strings of Yellow Gold Glitter.

Rub a very thin layer of corn starch on the Small Etch ‘n’ Pearl. The corn starch will help keep the clay from sticking.
Poke a hole through one of the 2” sections of clay, piercing it all the way through end to end.

Using a rolling cut. Slice through the clay until the Blade touches the metal rod. If you roll the clay while cutting, you will cut perfectly through to the rod.
