Clay Sunflower Tutorial – Now Available
This tutorial is available exclusively in the Rose & Basic Course until September 30, 2025.

Our summer lesson – how to create a lifelike sunflower from cold porcelain – is now live on YouTube Membership.
In this video, you’ll learn step-by-step how to sculpt the center, petals, leaves, stem, and calyx, bringing them together into a beautifully realistic flower.
The Bold Beauty of Summer – Sunflowers
By crafting the large center, radiating petals, sturdy stem, and detailed leaves, you’ll have a sunflower that stands out whether displayed on its own in a vase, or as the star of a bouquet or arrangement.
You can also make just the flower head for cake decorations, small accessories, or other floral art projects.
Creating and assembling the flower center takes a little extra time, but the process is straightforward once you know the sequence.
The video walks you through how to use the molds, shape the petals and leaves, and apply color effectively – all to achieve a clean, professional finish.
