Air hardening clay is the perfect choice for modellers, artists and students alike. This heavy bodied clay is pliable after kneading, and because it is slow drying you can take your time forming it into your desired design.
The clay is suited to free form sculpting and can be sanded, drilled, painted or varnished once dry. Almost any decorative object can be created with imagination. Traditional pottery techniques can be used together with non traditional methods such as stamping or adding objects to your work. Standard pottery tools can be used with air hardening modelling clay.
