Activa Hearty Lightweight Air Dry Clay, 5.25oz, Extra Fine and Smooth | Special clay for ultra-fine detail, best for doll heads, fine jewelry, intricate miniatures, air dry, satin smooth finish

This clay is terrific and I really like it. I make sculptures I use it and it air dries and it doesn’t crack and it’s nice and soft and easy on hands you have arthritis. It would be great for kids to.

This clay is VERY light, keeps details from a mold fairly well and air dries. The texture when dry is very much like a harder kind of EVA foam. It is NOT as good as a polymer clay when sculpting by hand but can be kept in a workable condition with the addition of water.

I bought this clay to try something different, from originally working with polymer (oven bake) clay for a change. I was blown away by this extremely high quality clay. This is silky smooth, textures perfectly, you can easily mix in beautiful, smooth colors with acrylic paint, and you can spread it out paper thin for making flowers. I made an amazing pastel blue rose very easily. One last thing, you can mix in a drop or two of water to soften it up if it starts to dry while you're working with it. This clay dries very quickly, my rose dried in the next twelve hours, and the rose I made in this picture weighed honestly the same as a paperclip . I would highly recommend this clay for any serious crafter.

New to this air-dry clay stuff, and after many attempts at DIY that did NOT pan out, I went ahead and got a package of this. The texture is indescribably amazing, and it is so light in weight, creamy and... well, kinda like mold-able suede? I've made several projects from this and it dies light as a feather. The only dislike I have (which is why I gave it only 4 stars) is the scent it gives off reminds me of mildew, but maybe it's just the package I got, and others smell fine. I would definitely recommend for first-timers who want to get into the air-dry clay.

I noticed lots of negative reviews for this clay and I happen to love it. Is it perfect? No. It does leave cracks when it drys but beyond that you would be hard pressed to find a more light weight clay. It mixes well with most expoxy based putties like green stuff and even JB steel wield putty. I tend to make composite sculptures and lightweight hearty has helped me sculpt several large figures. Often larger sculptures with either be ungodly heavy or collapse due to the bulk of clay without a wielded armature. I find this clay best used for helping bulk out a sculpture in a semi detailed area. Since it bonds well to most A and B part expoxies, like green stuff, it has helped me save my more expensive clays for detail work. For what it can do, I think it is amazing, especially for larger sculpts. I make a sturdy armature and fill out the general shape with aluminum foil or styrofoam and then used the hearty clay to add some bull and detail and then work out details with more expensive putty/clay. I also tend to used auto curing polymer clays, not baking clays. I am pretty sure hearty clay would incernerate in a toxic cloud of regret if baked and do not think it would work with thermal clays like sculpty.

This stuff is AWESOME! I needed a lightweight clay to do raised details on cosplay armor and this clay works beautifully. It clings to super smooth styrene (although I recommend a little glue to attach it, just to be safe), can be sealed with mod podge, does not shrink, can hold pretty good detail, and is flexible even after it has dried. Just be sure to keep a spray bottle or wet towel handy to keep it moist and it'll keep for a long time.

I've bought this same clay manyyyyy times like at least 15 times but they must have changed their quality cause its completely unusable now. Bought some like 2 weeks ago and it arrived basically unusable, it was dried out. So I bought it again and same exact thing. It's not exactly dried out but it's not smooth and soft and easy to use like it used to be. Now it like won't go together, like the clay once taken off the block cannot combine back together with each other, it's just like pieces of clay that aren't pliable at all. ): sucks, wasted money and now I gotta find a different brand to use I guess

I ordered this at the request of my child after watching a youtube video demonstrating clay cracking using this specific brand/package. Unfortunately the texture seemed dry and the clay did not mold well after shaping. It does not appear to be as stretchy or moldable as seen on the video demonstrating this product. Perhaps we received an old batch. Will not repurchase again as my child was disappointed with the product.

Not the best choice for flowers as it has cellulose inside which makes edges look hairy.... Also too fast drying, i did some flowers with it, it is ok but i won't use again as flowers after they dry crash easy, the clay doesn't stay soft after it is dry. Best to use other materials For something else.might work better, though i am not sure what it can be..

esta arcilla es ideal para trabajo detallados y ligeros , tiene una textura suave y es ideal para hacer flores o detalles pequeños en punta sin romperse , al secar queda muy muy ligerita ya que esta hecha a base de papel, se pinta perfectamente bien y es resistente! la recomiendo al 100% ami me duro aprox 2 meses o mas después de abrir el paquete , obviamente si se almacena en un frasco cerrado herméticamente durara mucho mas!

Bonjour, voila enfin la pâte idéale 😀pour mes créations et celle que je recommande à touts autre artistes qui aime créer de leur mains la texture et vraiment formidable 😉

This is a light weight clay when dry. Works well when working with paper crafts.

Llegó en buen estado y sin maltratar, tiene una consistencia muy buena y es fácil de moldear, se unen las piezas ya sea con agua o con pegamento blanco, tarda hasta 2 días en secar pero vale la pena
