Here’s how
Step 1 Cover clay mat or work surface with baking paper. Preheat oven to temperature as shown on clay pack.

Step 3 Transfer to fridge to firm for maximum 10 minutes.
Step 4 Remove clay from fridge, keeping on baking paper, and put on a flat work surface. Press rim of heatproof bowl into clay and use craft knife to trim around edge. Transfer leftover clay to sealed pack. Remove bowl.
