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.
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 natural clay. Please note that we only use natural clay (not plastic), so the colours of the clay can vary and can sometimes be a little darker (beige/grey). The clay will become lighter as it dries.
-
1 metal rib
-
1 tool to cut
-
1 sponge
-
2 wooden tools
- Bi-lingual (German and English) professionally printed booklet with projects, tips to get started 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.
