Clay Craft – Project 1: Chinese Donut & Soy Milk
by Jan on March 4, 2009
For the past month Al and I have been attending classes on Saturdays to learn how to make interesting crafts out of clay. Our first project is a Chinese donut and soy milk stand (found in places like Hong Kong and China). Each week we’d learn how to make individual items for the stand and last Saturday we finally finished everything and assembled it all together. Here are some pictures of our finished project:
Almost everything in this project were made by ourselves using clay and paper (for the bags). We both had a lot of fun learning how to make it and were so happy to be able to finish our first project. I’ve taken pictures of Al’s and mine. You can see more photos from my Picasa Albums.
A little note on the course. I first found out about it during Chinese New Year in 2008. The instructor had a booth at Aberdeen Centre during the New Year Festivals. When I saw them again this year I decided to take the course because I want to learn how they make such detailed food stands and flowers. Al and I will be starting our next course in the coming week. I’ll post pictures of project 2 once it’s finished.

Wow, it looks great! You made everything out of clay? Even the pot? Did you paint it silver? What about the soy milk? How did you get it white and with air bubbles?
I’m really impressed!
