Synopsis

Master a durable, color-ready modeling clay for decorative art and small crafts. This practical handbook guides beginners and hobbyists through Permodello modeling, from creating beads and pendants to hat ornaments and decorative pieces. Learn how to shape, paint, and finish projects that resist cracking and stand up to daily wear.

Permodello is an air-drying clay that feels like traditional modeling clay but hardens to a porcelain-like finish without high heat. The book covers techniques for molding, assembling parts, painting with liquid tempera and enamelac colors, and protecting finished pieces with varnish. It also explains how to decorate a wide range of objects, including beads, La Vallieres, trays, ink stoppers, and candlesticks, with clear, step-by-step guidance and illustrations.

- Start-to-finish instructions for beads, pendants, hat ornaments, and more
- Easy coloring and finishing tips to extend durability and shine
- Tips on joining parts, piercing designs, and building up decorative forms
- Project ideas that combine design, color, and practical use

Ideal for readers of craft anthropology and decorative arts, DIY hobbyists, and students seeking a hands-on introduction to Permodello modeling and color decoration.
