Mouse or chicken with a hollow body- a little bit trickier.

There’s a trick to making birds and animals with hollow bodies. A hollow body uses less clay and is lighter and will dry out more quickly. To make a hollow body make two pitch pots and stick them together ….

I’ve written another blog post with more pictures showing how to make a hollow ball with pinch pots.

Use about 150g of clay to make a chicken or mouse. Your Dipsy ball of clay will make one of each.

Make two pinch pots and join them to make the body. Make a hole in the body and roll one end of the body to make it pointed for the nose – more pictures to follow.
