Pipe Cleaner Sculpture

Today we are making a sculpture with clay, pipe cleaners and beads. 

Sculpture is three-dimensional. It has height, width, and depth. You can look at it from many sides and it stands up and is not flat. 

What kind of sculpture can you make using clay, pipe cleaners and beads?

1. Roll clay base into a ball, and flatten just a little bit so it makes a good base. 

2. Choose pipe cleaners to add to your sculpture. 

3. Press an end of a pipe cleaner into the clay base.

4. Bend and twist the wire, adding a few beads as you go.

5. Add pipe cleaners one at a time, carefully adding beads and pushing wire into the clay base.
