DASTerracotta Air-Hardening 500g Modelling Clay, For Professionals & Hobbyists

I bought this clay for a weekend craft project with my kids, and it exceeded my expectations. It’s soft, smooth, and very forgiving — perfect for both beginners and experienced creators.Pros:• Soft texture, easy to mold• Doesn’t dry out too quickly while working• Holds fine details well• Minimal cracking after drying• Safe and non-toxic — no strong odourCons:• Can be a bit sticky without a silicone mat• Slight colour fade after drying (if not sealed)

Great product, easy to use and gave me a day of fun, making Christmas decorations with the family.Easy to air dry within a few days.Loads of uses, just need to be creative or search google

This is great clay, I bought it for my 9 year old do do a sculpture for his homework project, he found it easy to handle and the excess in the pack didn't dry out (even though I accidentally ripped the packet) when we went on a weekend away, I left the top folded over and it was fine 4 days later! The only negative was the first bit we used dried out quite quickly, but I think it was probably enthusiastically overworked. There was some left over for my 5 year old to try, and she also got on well with it. It has dried to a lovely finish but we are yet to paint it.

This was such a great block of clay for so little money. It held its shape nicely during modelling, and without any cracking during the drying! Nor any noticeable shrinking! No need to put it into the oven, it'll dry on its own.I've used it to make a sort of slab about 1 inch thick: it took 3-4 hours of work before the surface started to solidify, 1 day before it was solid enough to be handled without risking to change the shape, 2 days before I could turn it upside down, and by day 7 it was 100% solid throughout (room humidity: 45%, about 20 Celsius). The rest of the clay is still in the bag and -- it's been many days -- still soft and malleable, ready to be used as fresh.To be safe, I've applied gesso to the surface of the clay, once dried, and I've not had any issue painting over it with acrylic paint. There wasn't any absorption or anything unwanted.Overall, if you want to get started with clay, this is a good one. It's genuinely fun, relaxing, (cheap), and not that messy!

Good value and quality. Easy to work with giving great results.

This is the best ever air drying clay.

I bought this product to Make Ganesh Idol for Ganesh chaturthy.Value for money and looks great. It's soft and easy to mould.

Was fun to create with and easy to shape as the clay is very soft and light. However despite my clay figure being months old now, they have not hardened properly and are still sticky - adding a top coat did not help. This may be me doing something wrong tho.
