- Craft mat or ceramic tile, to work on

General rules:
Before you begin this project, please ensure that your hands are clean as it is surprising how much dirt transfers on to the clay.
Always begin by ‘working’ the lightest coloured of the clays in the kit.
By ‘working’, I mean roll into a ball and flatten and press, repeat this process several times until clay is soft and pliable.
1. ‘Work’ the white clay and put to one side
2. Repeat with the brown clay.
3. Wipe hands again. (Wet wipes are handy to have by you)
4. Repeat with the green clay.
5. Roll the green clay into tiny balls (peas) and put to one side.
6. Roll the white clay into a ball.
7. Press ball into pie dish and flatten the top.
8. Take craft knife and carefully cut a slice out and put aside.
9. With the cocktail stick, dig out a little of the white clay to be replaced with meat filling.
