Make a Little Alien With Clay - For Teens

First class:
>Clay
First choice – I highly recommend Creative Paperclay which can be purchased from art supply stores and Amazon. Prices range from $9 to $16 for a 16 ounce package. You'll need about 8 ounces of Creative Paperclay. Creative Paperclay is lightweight and strong when it dries. 

Second choice – Another good choice is Amaco (white or grey) air dry clay. It's not as strong as Creative Paperclay when it's dry. 

Third choice –Polymer clay. Even if you don't have the colors needed, it can be painted with acrylic paint. The polymer clay will need to baked between classes.

You can use other kinds of air dry clay, but I can't vouch for the end result because the consistency of air dry clays vary.
