Your cart is empty.White Air Dry Clay, 10 lb. , is an all-purpose air dry clay to use for sculpting, hand modeling, or throwing on a potter's wheel. Once pieces are finished, air dry evenly and slowly on all sides. Pieces will dry hard, but must be handled carefully to avoid breakage. Pieces can be decorated with paint, and sealed with shellac for added strength and to waterproof. This clay can also be fired to cone 04 for hardness/permanence and to glaze.

This is a great product. I got this clay on sale so instead of $23 I got it for $14! This is a good quality clay, it dried within a couple of days. Something I noticed is that it has a powdery texture once it dries and if you rub your finger on it, a little bit of the powder goes onto your finger, but that doesn’t make it a bad product. If you do get this clay I would not do thin pieces because it isn’t as strong when it’s thin. I would definitely get this clay again whoever I do pottery again. The picture shows the pieces I did, I did not have a pottery wheel so they aren’t perfect but still they are great! 👍 I also made another piece but didn’t show it because I didn’t like it so I am remixing it into clay to make a different piece!

Let me tell you that I underestimated just how much clay this is. It’s a lot. I used it to warm up my sculpting skills and do simple crafts. It doesn’t stick to other surfaces well. But it’s fun to play around with. I ended up growing out of air dry clay but I gave it to my little siblings and they had a great time.

Had such a blast making things. 10lbs was a lot of clay but we used it all. Kids had fun the adults had fun.easy to moldHeld its shapeWhen dried it was easily paintedTook about 2 days to dry with hand size objects.Seal back up what you dont use, we used the last 5 lbs or so 3 weeks later and it was still good.

I really enjoy this clay! I've used it in the past in previous art classes but never owned any. It's a great clay for beginners and I find myself wanting to get more once I run out! Just know, 10lbs of clay really is A LOT OF CLAY! So you shouldn't be needing a new box anytime soon (depending on the project size).

Bought it for this sculpture, it was a great purchase. Don't let the reviews fool you with inaccurate reviews defaming the product. I got it really quickly as I bought it on prime and it was only $15 per box. And it is truly worth every last pennyYou have to know what you are doing or else you will get cracks and that goes without saying for any air dry clay. Make your sculptures and wrap the finished product in a bag for a week in a room filled with sunlight. Also make sure you unwrap it for around 30 mins in the day for the first week. Then after leave it in the open to dry and in a matter of a week or 2 (depending on the size of your sculpture) it will dry up and not crack up. Just follow this routine and you will see a miracle result.- don't let the reviews undermine the product. I don't know why ppl buy this item who don't know much abt paper based clay and then get disturbing results.- the sculpture in the picture is a few months old and as you can see it has not cracked up. It need a little sanding but the end results are not bad at all for a $15 box of clay.

I tested a cat planter, before handing it off to my children. It's pretty easy to use for someone who doesn't do any type of sculpting or pottery, but is willing to try for an affordable price. The only issue is thinner areas break easy. I had to super glue an ear back on. Overall it's a nice airdry clay and easy to smooth with a bit of added water.

I am not experienced working with clay, so I am not sure that it was done well by me as I do not know if there was another way for this method to work. The pieces that we tried making all cracked and needed to be glued together. This could have been the nature of "clay" or might have been this product. We were trying a coil technique, but it did not work out well for our program participants and was rather disappointing.

Bought this for my daughter, who was making a skeleton for a group school project. You get a lot of clay for the price, and it feels good enough to get the job done. The quality felt good (but have felt better) and it seemed suitable enough.The brought it to school and it worked just fine for the school project. When it got hard, it did get fairly brittle. It was more brittle than other clays we have used in the past, but not the worst by any means. The kids used a combination of additional clay and a bit of glue to further strengthen the skeleton. The amount was more than enough to complete a fairly large scale skeleton (not 1:1 scale, but close enough). I have tried using some myself for some basic clay modelling as well, and I am confident in saying that this is great for students and novices who are just getting into the idea of clay modelling, but if you are looking at something more 'professional', for pros or bigger, more intricate projects, you may be better off with a slightly higher quality clay.

I got this because I have seen so many DIY projects on Youtube and thought I would be able to do a lot of projects with my grand kids. Very Disappointing.1)This clay is not white but is definitely grey, see photos.2) It is much more like regular clay that needs to be fired and should not be advertised as "Air Dry" in large letters on front. Overnight it is still not fully dry.3) Clay is hard to work with for kids, sticks to fine molds. We used beautiful carved stone pieces as molds, but the clay sticks and is very difficult to remove from a mold and the bottom has to be scraped off your table with a strong, hard, sharp spatula or maybe knife, it bunches up and breaks.4) This clay CRACKS, A LOT and it happens to everything so far.5) This clay does not soften up and stretch like air dry clay.4) I was planning on making jewelry and other intricate projects, totally won't work!It was hard for my grand kids 4 & 5 to see grandma struggling to carefully remove their little masterpieces with a sharp spatula, over and over again the clay just bunches up can not be removed from flat surfaces after it is molded. Kids lost interest as each piece was a sorry flop. I finally got a sad looking piece to save for each of them, but today still isn't dry. Our plan was to paint these when they harden but that may be some time. Actually this clay has all the bad parts of traditional clay and all the bad parts of air dry clay with cracking and sticking etc! Would not recommend except maybe for the low price you could use it for something, I'm just not sure now what!

Good quality clay, great for beginners, kids, or people who haven't worked with clay in a long time. I like that since it's air dry clay, it can be reconstituted if a piece doesn't turn out. It can be fragile if you make pieces too thin, but it can be reinforced and made more water resistant with a good sealant (several layers of waterproof mod podge worked for me) I would not use this for flower pots or anything else that would get a lot of exposure to moisture, even with a sealant, though. It paints well once dried.

Amazing price and pretty well can make anything you can think of! Thinner pieces are not very strong after drying but that’s nothing that a good quality glaze can’t help with!

This clay was EXCELLENT for a day camp art project. It was perfect, high-quality artist's clay, that was a great consistency for children's hands. They were able to mold it and roll it, but it took some pinching/pulling/pounding- which is exactly what I wanted. Their projects turned out great. I used about 2/3's of this box for 18 children to make a small (3"-5" or so) fish sculpture. They also painted them with acrylic paint (before they had dried) and it worked perfectly. They dried in the sun all afternoon and were ready to go home when parents picked up. I will purchase this again for similar art projects in the future, as it is such a better price than the name-brand stuff and very high quality.

I ordered WHITE,but the clay I received is GRAY.I double checked my order and the package.The box says WHITE,exactly same as the photo of the product, but the clay inside is GRAY...I took a little clay and waited for a while but still gray.========================================================================Update:When completely dry, it became somewhat white or grayish white.Pros:-very smooth -soft -low price -reasonable (It became clay again after mixed with water with my broken piece.)Cons:-easy to break (if you make thin pieces) -not perfectly whiteI bought other brand's similar clay and found out this product is better. I changed my rating from three-star to four star. This is a great clay with this price.
