Step 2Making a Hollow Ball
First off, rip off a section of your clay and start working it in to a ball. A ball will be the base shape for many of the things that you will make, as they're the easiest to hollow out for the compost and seed mixture.
When your ball is nice and round, start to work your thumbs into it from the top, hollowing it out as you push your fingers and thumbs in further. Squeeze the sides as you're doing this to make the walls thinner so it is easier to break after it dries.
If you find that it's too big after you've worked the clay for a while, just rip a bit off and work it again until you're satisfied.
