Step-by-step guide to get started
-
Prepare Your Workspace: Set up a clean surface and knead the clay to make it pliable. Keep water nearby to soften if needed.
-
Shape Your Base: Mold the clay into your desired form, such as a bowl, sculpture, or decorative tile, using your hands or tools.
-
Add Details: Carve patterns or textures with sculpting tools. The clay’s smooth texture holds fine details well.
-
Smooth Surfaces: Use a damp sponge or tool to refine surfaces for a polished look.
-
Let It Dry: Allow your creation to air-dry for about 24 hours (depending on thickness) to achieve a hard, durable finish.
-
Finish and Decorate: Sand, paint, or varnish the dried piece to enhance its appearance. Acrylic paints or gloss varnish work well for a vibrant finish.
Air Hardening Modelling Clay is perfect for a range of projects:
- Create functional pottery like small bowls or planters for Nairobi homes, sculpt expressive figures for art displays.
- Craft decorative ornaments for events. Its slow-drying nature allows ample time to perfect your work, and its durability when dry ensures lasting results.
- To prevent cracking, work in thin layers and keep unused clay moist, as some users note minor cracking with air-dry clays, though water can help smooth imperfections.
