Old Potters Premium Air Dry Clay, Terra Cotta, 10 lbs

I’m used to clay but not without a pottery wheel, I was pleasantly surprised how well things worked out without one, it does dry out fast so have to keep that giant block covered for sure, but really easy to work with, prob even better with a pottery wheel. Only took 1-2 days to dry totally and I made dense figurines, there was some cracking but I found that the one that was more cracked was my first go and once I got the hang of it the others were fine, I found I had to is get the water/clay ratio down, I think the cracking was bc I didn’t use enough water, once I painted it it was fine though, I recommend covering it with a glaze at the end

Great quality we love this clay have bought several times & plan to keep buying it. Able to paint it, won’t crack, good value for price, doesn’t smell bad at all, kid friendly, keep spray bottle to keep moisture. soft enough to mold but can be messy.

Works great for a new adult crafter. Went through one box and bought another. Dries within a day or a few depending on size of creation. My one complaint is that I keep breaking my pieces after they are dry. But that may be a Me issue more than a Clay issue.

Easy to handle and press. No crumbling.

Beautiful clay, easy to work with but cracked very easily once dry. So make sure you keep whatever you make in the extra thick side.

maybe don’t buy 10 lbs right away, I used this to make Christmas gifts and still have so much left over! put a wet paper towel in the bag and it seems to hold up well. I dried it out with a humidifier running nearby and it turned out okay. I had fun making little jewelry dishes and embedding little trinkets//shells//jewels on them. they embedded items came off and I had to glue them back on but I think that was user error. I also set the inside with mod podge which I would recommend to anybody else. overall, do your research on air dry clay usage and I was happy with the quality

I bought this clay to use in my sculpture class, to make small sculptures for Christmas gifts, and to have some for this semester. None of that happened because the clay was horrible. It arrived dried out. I built a small dinosaur with it and the figure crumbled after drying. I rehydrated the clay, I tried using wet towels to slow down the drying time. Nothing has worked, the clay still cracks and. Crumbles. I would not recommend purchasing this vlay

Good clay.
