I've got a couple of days off, 2 kg of sculpting clay, and zero previous experience of sculpting. What should I make?
Lay it on me, people!

Personally, I'd love to see a Dick Butt made from clay. Preferably with an inscription reading "the internet made me do it".
Mushrooms. The first few will probably be pretty rough, but you'll quickly start to see the possibilities with different textures, shapes, adding gills underneath, etc. If the clay is different colors you can get buck wild. After fewer than you think you'll probably be pretty good at them. You can even screw in a hook at the top and turn them into ornaments for friends and family if that's your thing.
If you want to learn, make a skull. If you want anything complete, someone suggested an ashtray and I agree.
Variation: a soup bowl with a sculpted bottom so that you serve someone their soup and they slowly discover the lurking horror/humor as they eventually work their way down. Can also use for dips, nuts or small candies.
Also, we shall require pictures of your endeavors in a couple of days.
A soup bowl with phone stand, chopstick holder and spoon holder. Maybe even add a handle to grab it, when it's too hot. The ultimate bowl.
Throw the clay as hard as you can up against a wall and if it sticks ... place a little artist signature just below it and paint a frame around it
