Tips and Tricks to Consider when Starting the Hobby

Here are some things to think about when you’re starting up this hobby:

1. Do I have any artistic ability? If not, you might want to choose something else.
2. Do I like the idea of molding clay into different shapes? If yes, then this activity might be for you.
3. What objects, in particular, would I like to make? Think about the shape, size, texture, and color of the object. Is it inanimate or animate (like a person or animal)? Will it be by itself or part of a scene? All these questions will help you make decisions on what to make.
4. Would I prefer to get them done quickly or do I have more time on my hands? The time that you take on an object will depend on how much time you are willing to spend perfecting it.
5. Once I’ve chosen the object, what kind of method would be suitable? Different techniques achieve different results. You can choose to use a mold or freeform – both have their pros and cons which you might want to consider before starting out.
6. Which materials should I use? You can use a wide range of different mediums for this hobby. It all depends on the type of results you want to achieve and how much money you would like to spend on it.
7. Once I’ve chosen my method, what kind of surface do I want to work on? Think about where you will be working and what you have to work with. For example, if it is something that would be suitable for a desk or other flat surface, stick it on there! If not, maybe get a stand so you can do it vertically.
8. How often should I practice? Once you’ve chosen all these things, how often will you practice? Will you do it every day or once in a while? Remember, this takes time and patience. If you can’t devote yourself to it, might as well give up on the idea.

In conclusion, It’s a fun hobby that can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
