Air Drying Clay
Air drying clay requires no firing and has a hardener and/or fibres added to give it strength. It has good plasticity, can be squeezed, pulled and pinched into shapes.
Moulded and modelled into 3 dimensional forms, rolled out flat in the same way as pastry and cut with a knife or clay cutters. Decorative effects can be added with wooden stampers or by modelling detail and joining it to the surface of the clay form.
Children of all ages new to clay will initially be happy to explore its qualities but later they will benefit from an introduction to some very simple techniques.
