What is a good home-made clay recipe?

I want to make a craft sculpture for my friend but don’t have the money to buy clay. Preferably I’d like to be able to control its drying, but if not that is ok too. Thanks in advance.

These websites should get you started. I am not sure what of clay you are looking for. Most of these recipes are made out of flour. If you looking for artists style clay, then I cannot help you. The last two on this list have several different recipes, maybe one of those could help.
