Terracotta Air-Hardening 1kg Modelling Clay Non Bake | For Professional Clay Users & Hobbyists

Well if DaVinci could sculpt snails and sharks he might match my genius using this stuff which, it seems I have a talent for.At least that's what my grandchildren think anyway.Given the current situation my wife and I do our bit with our six year old grandchildren and when they come over and visit we make the effort to do something a bit 'old school' and hands on. This time we decided that modelling clay would be a good occupier of time and hands and it proved to by thus.Now, when dealing with six year olds one has to accept that there may be a fair bit of commissioning involved and that certainly proved to be the case with us with the small people in our lives requesting ever more complicated works of art.Well I gave it my best shot and managed a very good snail, a passable shark and a somewhat down at heel tyrannosaurus rex. I made sure it was a joint effort with my grandchildren making up various sausages to be formed collectively into various shapes.When we finished we had a collection of perhaps less than able animals but had used up quite some time together discussing and working on these art works. That's worth quite a bit I'd say and it's nice to see that even in these computer dominated times children can still get something from basic craft materials and a bit of help and time.To use it's easy. Just open the bag, cut off what you need and once you have kneaded it a bit to make it more pliable for moulding and forming off you go. It's water soluable so when joining or smoothing a little bit applied helps it out.Once the masterpiece is made all you have to do is leave it out to air dry which, it does in a couple of days in a warm environment.As it's water soluable it's easy to wash up afterwards with no manky stuff on one's hands. I'm not quite sure that would be the case on nice soft furnishings so best make sure wherever this is used is wipe down.Overall a great craft product even if you are a serious modeller or sculptor making genuinely good art.

I absolutely loved using this terracotta air-dry clay for my artwork. The clay is very soft, smooth, and easy to shape, which makes it perfect for beginners as well as experienced artists. It does not stick to the hands too much and is very comfortable to work with.One of the best things about this clay is that it dries naturally without needing a kiln or oven. After drying, it becomes strong and sturdy.Absolutely value for money, fun activity for kids and couples, and mess free!! Really loved it :)

Have fired sculpture of lying man which has split unevenly across it's waist. I wanted to continue to keep in the garden.I ha some problems using the clay so it would join (2 layer cling filmmade it possible - but not accurately. Knowing I wanted it outside I used Leak preventative spray - rubber. So far , so good.It's a different colour from the tera cotter but that doesn't matter to me. Not sure what to use the rest for as yet, tightly clipped and seems to be O.K.

Good price. To repair garden pot that cracked after reporting.

I have a garden fountain I bought years ago and over time the elements have taken their toll on the terracotta pots.I looked at replacing them but you can only seem to buy the top jug style one and not the others. In order to replace them I'd have to buy an entire new fountain which go from anywhere from £75 - £100.There's no way I wanted to pay that much so I started researching how I could repair them. To be honest this air dry clay isn't the product you want if you want to make a water feature which I sadly realised to late and needed a water proof version. That being said I found a varnish that was meant to work with air dry clay and keeps it water proof. The caveat is that I'll have to re apply the coats from time to time.The clay dries fairly quickly if left out in the sun (especially on days like these) although Ai told me off for doing this and said it could form cracks by shrinking by losing its moisture too quickly... But it turned out ok in the end.The clay has a nice smooth texture, was very pliable and when tacky it was quite sticky. Adding a little water to smooth surfaces with a fine sponge was the best way to get a decent finish. When it's completely dry you can sand it with fine sandpaper to dial it in. Re-wetting staff to rework was easy when it was still flexible.It was actually very therapeutic too play around with the clay in the garden on a nice day and it's a good way to spend the time being creative on a budget.

Brilliant and easy to use

Dries quickly and evenly. Definitely my go to product when my daughter is in creative mode!

DAS clay is our first couce for small projects. It is soft and easily moulded but holds its shape until air hardened.

Très bonne pâte à modeler, facile à travailler et qui sèche bien. La couleur terracotta est jolie et le rendu est très propre.

Fajna, dobrej jakości glina. Szybko schnie, trzeba zabezpieczać przed wyschnięciem.

Qualitä und Preis absolut ok.

Perfekt för att laga terracottaföremål med. Blev så bra det kunde bli. Färgen var inte helt perfekt men nära nog.

Comprato per lavori all’asilo di mia figlia. Brand affidabile con profumo gradevole e facilmente malleabile .
