As I was enjoying looking through her Flickr photostream, I also was introduced to a cool Flickr group I had not seen before, the “Shadow Boxes & threedimensional pictures ~ polyclay, handmade” group, which can be found here:

There is lots of fine mixed media and polymer clay work to be seen in this group, check it out!

Clay Studio Series: Air-Dry Clay Trinket Cup Review

In this episode of our Clay Studio Series, we’re exploring Tugce Dumlupinar’s video on creating a delicate flower-shaped trinket cup using air-dry clay. This project blends sculpture, painting, and practical design into one charming piece.

What the Video Covers

  • Forming the Shape: Tugce hand-builds a trinket cup that looks like a blooming flower, carefully layering petals and creating natural curves. 
  • Painting with Gouache: The piece is brought to life with soft gouache paints in petal-pink and leafy green, giving it a whimsical, storybook feel. 
  • Finishing Touches: A transparent epoxy is applied for durability and shine, making the cup both decorative and functional. 

Why We Love It

 Unique sculptural design — the cup feels more like art than craft.
 Use of gouache paints shows you don’t need specialized glazes to achieve a stunning finish.
 A perfect beginner-friendly project for anyone curious about air-dry clay without needing a kiln.

Final Thoughts

This video is a great reminder of how versatile air-dry clay can be. Tugce’s project proves you can create imaginative, one-of-a-kind trinkets with just a few simple tools and paints. If you’ve been looking for a small weekend project that doubles as a functional piece of art, this tutorial is worth bookmarking.
