Materials

White Clay
Pink, green and yellow clay
Rolling pin
Waxed or parchment paper
Knife
Round cookie cutter

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 275 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Separate your clay into equal parts, around two ounces of clay per coaster. Flatten the clay into a disk, then place the disk on a piece of waxed or parchment paper. Place a second sheet of paper over the top of the disk and roll until around ¼ inch thick.

Roll each piece of pink, green and yellow clay into a small tube. Use the knife to cut off tiny pieces of each color in various shapes to create a terrazzo effect on the coaster. Scatter the pieces on top of the white clay, lightly pressing each piece into the clay.

When you are finished decorating the coaster, place the parchment paper back on top of the clay and roll the colored pieces of clay into the white clay until flat.

Use a round cookie cutter to cut an even circle out of the white clay, then transfer the coaster to a lined baking sheet.

Continue rolling and decorating each piece of clay until you have made your desired number of coasters.

Bake the coasters in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes, until the clay has hardened. Allow to cool completely before using.
