Air-Dry Clay

Air dry clay is a versatile product that can be used in many craft projects. Air dry clay does not need to be heated, unlike traditional clays that need to be fired in a kiln at a high temperature, or polymer clays that need to be heated in an oven to cure.

This kind of clay hardens and cures at normal room temperature and once dry, it can be painted and decorated in a variety of ways. There are many ways of adding surface decoration to air dry clay. One of the best ways to add texture and design is to use rubber stamps.

Air dry clay can be used to coil, slab, pinch, and score and weld, and can be used as modeling clay. Air dry clay makes great embellishments for cards and other projects. The finished items need to be allowed to thoroughly dry, however, and it can take up to a week for air dry clay to dry completely. The exact time will depend on the thickness of the item and room temperature.
