1. Place a block of clay between two 1/4-inch thick strips of wood. Run a clay cutting wire through the clay along the strips to cut a 1/4-inch thick clay slab. Repeat to cut a second 1/4-inch thick slab. Place one slab in a plastic bag so it won't dry out to be used later for the bearded dragon's head).

2. Roll one slab gently with a rolling pin to release the air but not change the dimensions. Measure an 8-inch piece by the width of the slab and cut it with a knife. Put the excess in a plastic bag to use later.
