5.0 out of 5 stars claybook, July 14, 1997

By A Customer

I really like the activities in this book but I think that most of them are to hard for anyone below the age of ten. I still have trouble with the details even though I am thirteen. you also need to find a different red color. It stained my clothes and all I did was drop it on them. Other than those complaints though, you did a good job. You need to make another book of things to do with the clay. Sincerely, Alicia LeCroy

5.0 out of 5 stars Started an obsession!, December 22, 1998

By A Customer

I received this book 3 years ago as a Christmas gift, and it sparked such an interest, that I began making gifts for every occasion, and then branched into selling my creations. There's plenty in this book to keep an adult interested! By the way, to the reviewer who expressed dismay at the difficulty of finding replacement clay, look for Sculpey III at your local craft store - that is the type of clay used in the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars An absolute winner!, September 16, 1996

By A Customer

I had no idea how much fun clay could be until I purchased The Incredible Clay Book! From beads to food to wizards, even finger puppets- this book has it all! It also takes you through detailed instructions of whatever object you're trying to make and gives you helpful hints and techniques along the way. Beginners or master builders of clay will love what this book has to recommend because it offers simple projects such as bug tacks and even some advanced projects like millefiori beads. It has a wide variety of zany creations and unusual objects. Try making a pteradactyl that can hang from your ceiling or a fancy jar lid design that works great as a birthday gift. One thing for sure: these countless creations will keep you busy for hours on end. So if you're looking for a clay book with fun ideas, a lot of content, and easy-to-read instructions, this book was meant for you! This kit comes packaged with eight one-ounce blocks of special molding material called polymer clay which can bake in the oven at 275 degrees. All in all, a great book!
