Imagine if you could…
- Hold the monster from the fridge door in your hands, as a solid little figure with every wobbly line in place.
- See your child's face the moment they spot their own drawing standing on the shelf.
- Keep a piece of who they were at five, long after the paper drawings fade or disappear into a box.
Why parents who "can't draw a straight line" can make this (yes, even the three-eyed monster)
At first glance it looks like a job for a sculptor. It's much simpler than it looks, because a child's drawing is already made of simple shapes.
Look at the monster again. The body is one rounded lump. The arms are two short sausages of clay. The eyes are three small balls with a dot of paint.
You aren't carving a realistic statue. You copy one shape at a time, and the lopsided bits are what make it look like their drawing, so there's very little to get "wrong".
Air-dry clay hardens on its own. All you need is an afternoon, a few cheap supplies and a drawing you love.
Introducing
Drawing to Clay
The step-by-step video course that shows you how to turn any child's drawing into a keepsake figure, from the first lump of clay to the last coat of varnish.
5 modules, short lessons, watch at your own pace
Module 1
Pick the drawing and gather your kit
A short shopping list, and how to choose a drawing that will turn out well.
- A simple supply list you can fill at any craft shop or online
- Which drawings make great figures, and how to simplify the tricky ones
- A kitchen-table setup that keeps the mess on one tray
Module 2
Build the body
Turn a flat drawing into a solid, rounded shape that stands on its own.
- Read any drawing as balls, sausages and slabs
- Roll a smooth body that won't crack as it dries
- Make it stand up without wire or a frame inside
Module 3
Add the character
Arms, legs, eyes and teeth, attached so they stay on.
- The simple join that stops small parts falling off
- Copying the wobbly lines on purpose, so it still looks like their drawing
- Fur, scales and spots with a fork, a toothpick and a straw
Module 4
Dry it, smooth it, fix it
Dry it slowly, sand it smooth, and rescue it if something cracks.
- A drying routine that avoids cracks
- Sanding the surface smooth before you paint
- Quick repairs for hairline cracks and loose limbs
Module 5
Paint it and make it last
Match their crayon colours, then seal it so it lasts for years on the shelf.
- Mixing paint to match the exact crayon colours
- Steady-hand tricks for eyes, teeth and spots
- Sealing it so it survives dusting and little hands

Questions
I've never worked with clay. Can I still do this?
Yes. The course starts from the very beginning and assumes you've never opened a packet of clay. Every step is filmed close up, so you can copy along.
Do I need special materials?
No kiln, no oven and no studio. You need air-dry clay, a few acrylic paints and some things from your kitchen drawer. Module 1 gives you the full list.
What if I'm not artistic?
That's fine. Your child already did the design. You're copying simple shapes, and the wobbly bits are what make it look like their drawing.
Can't I just learn this on YouTube?
YouTube has plenty of clay videos, but they rarely start from a child's drawing or take a complete beginner all the way to a sealed keepsake. This course walks you through every step in order, with one project from start to finish. And if it's not for you, the 30-day guarantee means you get your money back.
Where and when does it happen?
Online. The lessons are pre-recorded videos, so you can watch on your phone, tablet or computer whenever you like, at your own pace.
How long do I have access?
For life. Watch the lessons as many times as you want.
Is this a subscription?
No. You pay once and there are no further charges.
Is my payment secure?
Yes. Payments are processed by Stripe, one of the world's largest payment companies. Your card details never reach us.
What if it's not for me?
Email us within 30 days for a full refund, no questions asked.
When do I get access?
Doors open on Friday 29 January 2027. You'll get your login by email that day, and you can ask for a full refund at any time before then.
Can grandparents do this with their grandchildren?
Absolutely. Bonus 3 is built for exactly that: the children draw and help paint while you do the shaping.
Is the clay safe for children?
Choose an air-dry clay labelled non-toxic, and children can help with rolling and painting. Module 1 shows what to look for on the packet.
