Product Information

Many types of air-dry clay are no longer workable once dry, so for projects that will take a few days, choose earthen clay, cover the work-in-progress with a damp towel between sessions to keep it in a workable state, and rub in a bit of water to restore malleability. Adherence

You can easily paint DAS stone clay, like any other air drying clay, with acrylics, tempera, or watercolors. If you’re looking for a bright color, add a layer of white paint first to make the colors pop. Carefully put one sheet of parchment paper under the sculpture and then cover the sculpture with a second sheet of parchment paper. This is done to protect the clay from the UV rays of the sun. The best air dry clay for crafts will be one that is strong and durable enough to hold its shape when it dries but also easy enough to work with so there won’t be any frustration during air-dry clay projects. Air dry clay is a great material for making air dry clay crafts and projects. This type of clay is made from natural materials like flour, corn starch and yeast which means it doesn’t contain any chemicals or toxins that you might find in other types of craft supplies.Paper-based clay starts with a clay body, such as terra cotta or earthenware, then adds processed paper (or other cellulose fiber). The paper reduces a project’s weight, improves joining capabilities (paper fibers weave together), and decreases warping—all assets for sculpting and a host of other projects. Another benefit: To make alterations to a project, paper-based clay can undergo dry-to-dry and wet-to-dry joins. The paper fibers increase the firmness of the sculpture while minimizing shrinkage during the drying process. Earthen To dry air dry clay in an oven place the finished clay on a baking tray that is covered with parchment paper and put it in the oven. Then heat the oven to 200°F and leave the clay in there for 15 to 20 minutes. Then turn off the oven and take the clay out once everything has cooled down. Air dry clay can be baked in an oven at very low temperatures (~200°F) to accelerate the drying time of the clay.

You can use an acrylic sealer, a wood, or yacht varnish to seal your clay creations. Applying varnish ( one or more coats) will not only protect your craft from moisture (dry air hardening clay crafts can soak up moisture and disintegrate) but also makes them stronger and easier to clean with a damp cloth.
