16 Months – Real Clay
Lou, now 3.5 years old, sculpts with me all the time. For some reason I didn’t think Ero, 16 months, would get it. He thought otherwise. He climbed up the step stool and set up shop. He grabbed a little wooden tool, some terracotta and did what came naturally. He jabbed at it, sliced at it, and squashed at it for about 15 minutes. January 18th, 2010 | 3 comments |

What kind of clay sculpting tools do you have specifically, and where did you get them :)
I got my tools a looong time ago but here are tools much like the wooden ones Ero was using: http://www.dickblick.com/products/12-piece-basic-pottery-tool-set/
Blick art supplies seems to have costly shipping, but the online prices are way lower than in the store. Here are many other tool kits: http://www.dickblick.com/search/?page=1&sp_q=ceramic+tools&sp_p=all
We are using ceramic clay since we have a place near us with a kiln. It’s at the local park district. So if you don’t have a kiln, that’s a great place to start looking. Also, I don’t fire any of his stuff, it probably has a million air pockets in it…
thank you !
