If you are finished with your Sgraffito pots and tile/pendant, you may create some texture clay spheres or you may create a stamp with your name or initials on it.

Directions:  Create a round ball of clay about the size of a bouncy ball and stamp texture into the clay. Try also creating stamps. Put on shelf to dry.
