Delivered: Tuesday, December 03
Stay creative at home with our air-dry clay home pottery kit. The summer self-care edit brings you additional soothing helpers: hand-cream (especially useful after a clay session), a notebook and a pencil that says "Begin anywhere"). Use the summer to work on your dreams, write them down and then get started!
This product is for ready to ship kits. There are very limited numbers.
Air-dry clay does not need to be fired in a kiln and is very easy to work with. After working with it, it will dry out completely in around 3 to 4 days (depending on the thickness of the piece). Once dry, the piece can be decorated with acrylic paints and then made water resistant with a sealant.
This kit is not suitable for children under the age of 12 due to some tools having a slightly sharp edge.
Important: even after the sealant is applied, pieces made with air-dry clay are NOT water or food safe. They should be use for decorative purposes only
The kit contains:
-
500g of clay (pick whether you want the white or terracotta clay)
-
1 metal rib
-
1 tool to cut
-
1 sponge
-
2 wooden tools
-
Bi-lingual (German and English) professionally printed booklet with over 26 pages of tips to get started, 3 different projects and inspiration. Truly a mini-class in itself!

FAQ
Questions and Answers
-
Do the kits come with instructions?
Yes! The kits come with a 26-page professionally printed bilingual (English and German) booklet with lots of tips, projects and ideas. It's a mini pottery class in itself.
-
Do I need any additional materials to work with the pottery kits?
The kits contain all the tools and materials required. You only need some water and a cloth for your work surface.
-
What is air-dry clay?
The air-dry clay in our kits is completely natural clay that can be left to air-dry and does not require a kiln to be fired.
-
Is air-dry clay durable?
Air-dry clay is durable depending on what you make from it. Very thin items may break more easily, but as long as you treat your piece well, a piece made from air-dry clay is very durable.
-
Can air-dry clay be used for food? Is it foodsafe?
Since pieces made from air-dry clay are not fired in a kiln and are not glazed, they are not food safe or water tight. So they should not be used with food or water.
-
Can air-dry clay get wet?
Since they are not fired, pieces with air-dry clay should not get wet. Applying sealant helps with making the piece more resistant to splashes but it should still not be immersed in water. If you make a vase with air-dry clay, you should only use it for dried flowers.
-
Can I burn the air-dry clay in my oven at home for faster drying?
The air-dry clay in our kits can be burned in the oven, but I advise against firing clay in the same oven you use for food preparation and consumption. Therefore, I would recommend to just air-dry the clay.
-
How long will it take for my air-dry clay piece to be completely dry?
It depends a bit on the size of your piece and how thick its walls are, but air-dry clay usually dries out completely in two to four days.
-
Can I use it for food, water or drinks?
No! Air-dry clay is not safe for either food or liquids, even with an applied sealant.
-
Do I need to pay customs if I live outside of the EU?
If you live outside of the EU, you will incur customs duties. You are responsible to cover those. Customs is typically a percentage of the value of the item (excluding shipping costs), but there may be additional fees we have no way of anticipating, depending on the country.
