- Reviewed in the United States on August 31, 2020I loved it and would buy it again! It does NOT make red stains on your fingers like some other cheaper air-dry clays that are available.
It was my first time using clay to make models - the clay stays pretty wet while working and that lets you work slowly.
It is a good idea to use plastic to cover unused clay! It takes a long time to air dry but that is okay - just make sure to use/make ahead of time!
- Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2015I have used this clay numerous times, and find that it is the best overall clay to suit my needs It does not shrink as much as some other natural clays that I have used. It does tend to be brittle if it is dried in thin strips, so I apply a good water based varnish to my finished pieces to lessen breakage. This also makes the details in the art stand out better.
It tends to be very wet when first opened, and I found that it took some practice to figure out how much drying it needed before I could begin working with it . I generally found that this was only a matter of a few minutes, which afforded no real problem.
Overall, an excellent product.

- Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2019Bought this for my kids for summer busy time. They made turtles and rope mugs and a few other things they cut out with playdoh cutters. They took over a week to fully dry but in North Carolina our humidity is way up there so maybe that is why. Kids had fun and the clay was fairly easy for them to work. If too dry they just had to wet their hands to get it workable again.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2018It's been easy to use this clay. It's not too hard and molds well. The clay has air dried without cracking or shrinking. I'll buy it again.
