Air Drying Modelling Clay Nylon Reinforced 12.5kg (Terracotta)

I bought the terracotta version. This is a lovely clay to work with. I am new to working with clay and am making pinch-pots, having a go at carving and trying slab-building. This clay is excellent for all of the above. It is ready to use straight out of the bag, not too wet, not too dry. It doesn't dry out too quickly, so I don't feel rushed when building/carving/sculpting, and don't have to keep misting the clay too much while I work. I barely notice the fibres in it while working, and it's easy to carve despite the fibres, as long as you wait till the clay is the right hardness for carving. Try to carve too early on in the drying process and the fibres will drag as you carve. But once it is leather-hard, you won't notice the fibres at all and can cut sharp, clean lines. So far I've made bowls, dishes, I've made and carved tiles, and a dish to hold my paint brushes etc. Some dishes I have made very fine - very thin walls, and they have held together well and don't feel fragile. All have turned out great. I have used both additive and reductive processes and the clay responds well to both, as long as you know what you're doing! There are no cracks in any of my pieces so far. I learned through using other air-dry clays to dry my creations slowly, in a cool spot. If I want to carve something the next day, I leave it in a plastic bag overnight so it doesn't dry out too much. I don't use a potters wheel so can't comment on how this clay responds to that. I agree with other reviewers that you cannot make slip with this clay. I do want to experiment with slip at somme point, I will have to try a different clay for that. All in all, this clay is a great choice at a great price. The amount of clay you get is amazing.

A great deal. The bag is huge and a lot heavier than I expected. The clay came moist but not wet - it’s really simple & pretty intuitive to use! Dries in around 2-3 days but I leave it for longer so it’s 100% solidified! Love it & will likely order again in the future when I run out.

I was a little sceptical to buy this products having read the reviews. It does dry with hairy bits sticking out. But you can resolve that by rubbing over a wet sponge. I found that helps. Also the colour drys brown as shown in the pic. On the left hand side is a different clay product I bought off amazon that drys red. Unfortunately I carnt seem to get that one again.

This review is to tell people that air dry clay cannot get wet!! Please don't buy this product believing you can submerge in water - water reactivates the clay! I make pots with this clay and have to use a waterproof sealant to protect it, that does not make it water proof, just water resistant. Very good clay, fragile but easy to work with. *shemakesnudes - instagram/Etsy*

Lovely clay. Very soft which was nice for me. I leave it out a bit before I start using it to harden it a bit before coiling pots but I definitely have loved using this clay! Even got my Grandma making pots with me! Worth buying and there is definitely plenty to go round!

Amazing product. Lovely to work with, behaves just like regular clay, can be resoftened with water even when dry. Does shrink a lot as with normal clay.

A+++

I got this for my children’s art projects. I have tried air drying clays before and was really impressed by this in comparison. Others I have tried dry out really quickly while working with them and aren’t malleable enough. This took a few days to fully dry, but was great to work with.

Excellent produit, à presque en vouloir bâtir ma maison future avec!

I ordered 5 bags of this clay and only received 4. They clay its self is good

Regalato a mia moglie per i suoi lavori, molto soddisfatta!

Happy with product

È accessibile come prezzo ma ha dei paletti in mezzo, non so cosa siano...
