Creative Paperclay, 8 Ounces, White (0812)

Love this. I use it in my art practice. To keep it from drying out after opening, seal it in a plastic container along with a wet paper towel. Not dripping wet, but more than damp. Use it soon (within several months) or it can get oldy-moldy.After shaping, it air dries. If it cracks while drying, the cracks can be filled. No kiln needed.You can sand, drill, add more paper clay, paint after it dries. Very versatile.

Great quality paper clay. Very easy to work with and most importantly, there were no cracks during/after drying.

Great product

I purchased this product for my daughter who is a college Art Major student at UCF. This is a great product that she uses a lot of in her Art class. It is an air hardening modeling material or clay for artists & crafters. What you do is you shape or mold the clay and let it dry. No baking in an oven or firing in a kiln. It hardens on it own. My daughter uses her crafting/ molding tools to help create the shapes she is looking for. It hardens well and does not leave a mess all over the place. It is easy to sand down and smooth out. Once the product dries and hardens you will be able to paint it every easily. This product says it is available at Walmart and Michaels, and sometimes you can find at a Joann Fabrics. We found that she was running all over the place hunting for this product and most of the places she went only had a few in stock if any at all. I ordered her this on amazon and it came in a timely two day fashion as specified. It also is cheaper to purchase on amazon. The price at Michaels was about $2.00 more than the price on Amazon. So if you are an art student or major and you use this type of paper clay mold that hardens like a ceramic, I suggest you only purchase it on Amazon and get it in two days rather than driving to every single art store in your county looking for it. It is a great product.

I started with a cheap Halloween mask and sculpted on top of it. It was easy to work with. Took about 3 days to dry. Sanded nicely. I am very happy with it as I’ve never really sculpted much before.

Not great for detailed work. Clay would not mold together. A bit drier than I would like.

This is a smooth feeling paper clay that air dries. You can heat it up in the oven to speed up drying but you also risk the chance of cracking. Air drying is always best. Though cracks can be filled with more clay and sanded with fine sand paper. It's lightweight, so larger tree ornaments can be made with it and it won't take down the branch! Seal your clay in an airtight bag. Should the package dry out, use only distilled water to reconstitute it. Never use tap water, the minerals it it will cause your clay to form mold and render it harmful and useless. For best results, grind up the dried clay and slowly add the distilled water. Mix until it's the consistency that you are looking to work with. A thinner consistency can be used as "slip". It can also be used in an extruder for some fun shapes and more added texture. Acrylic paint can be added to the wet clay for some fun muted color. Once dry you do want to seal it. If you paint it with an acrylic paint you really don't need a sealer, the paint itself will take care of that. Sealers also protect the paint and painted details. Use an acrylic spray paint, gloss or mat finish, whichever you prefer.

I simply love working with this clay, even more than the polymers out there. It's similar to work with as the polymers with a near perfect smooth finish when the pieces are finalized. The results are light weight and strong, maybe even stronger than some polymers I've worked with, giving me the satisfaction of having a piece of work I can trust to last. I'm a true lover of this paper clay ❤️
