Premo Sculpey Concrete-Look Pot

Getting Started:Do not use unbaked clay on unprotected furniture or finished surfaces. Start with clean hands and work surface area. Good work surfaces include wax paper, metal baking sheet, or disposable foil. Knead clay until soft and smooth. For best results, clean your hands in between colors. Shape clay, pressing pieces together firmly. Bake on oven-proof glass or metal surface at 275 degrees F (130 degrees C) for 15 minutes per ¼” (6mm) thickness. For best baking results, use and oven thermometer. DO NOT USE MICROWAVE OVEN. DO NOT EXCEED THE ABOVE TEMPERATURE OR RECOMMENDED BAKING TIME. Wash hands after use. Baking should be done by an adult.Begin by preheating oven to 275 degrees F (130 degrees C). Test temperature with oven thermometer for perfectly cured clay. For best results, condition all clay by running it through the clay dedicated pasta machine several passes on the widest setting. Fold the clay in half after each pass and insert the fold side into the rollers first.

Sheet 1/4 block Ultramarine Blue through the pasta machine on the third thickest setting. Cut out at least four large triangles using the triangle cutter. Place these on barrier paper so they are easy to move around your work space.Sheet 1/4 block each Sunset Pearl, Turquoise, and Frost White Glitter through the pasta machine on the third thickest setting. When the Turquoise color is conditioned, mix in 1/4 teaspoon of silver glitter and sheet it to the third thickest setting. Cut out as many small triangles as you can using the small triangle cutter. Place these onto barrier paper so they are easy to move around your work space.

Sheet Gray Granite through the pasta machine on the thickest setting. Wrap the vase with the clay. Smooth out air bubbles from between the clay and the glass. Trim the seams and smooth them together by finger buffing. Trim the excess away from the open top and smooth the clay around the bottom so the vase sits nicely.Take measurements from top to bottom to find the midline of the vase.

Mark the midline all the way around the vase with a neat line. You can achieve a nice line by gently dragging the small Etch ‘n Pearl tip through the clay. This line is going to be seen in the finished piece so make it as neat as possible

Mark four equal points along the center line. Place an Ultramarine Blue large triangle on each of the four points with the short tip resting on the midline.

Add a small Turquoise, Frost White Glitter, and Sunset Pearl triangle around each of the large blue triangles.
