I am an artist and I tried this product for a project with my nieces and nephews. This product is good, but you have to have patience. In order for it to work, you really need to have some basic knowledge for sculpting. It is great for teaching sculpting. Basic sculpting. Trial and error teaching. You have to have a structure to support the clay. Like an armature. For this clay, and practice, keep the project small. Add small, small, amounts of clay at a time and let your project rest between layers. Keep damp, not dripping wet, but damp paper towels to cover the sculpture in between working on it and when complete. You have to let it dry slowly. It's practice. Practice makes , well, it makes practice. The price is not bad compared to high quality clay, so take time to appreciate what it is. Practice. Think of it as a come and go project that is going to take awhile to finish Have fun!

I love this clay!! It's so easy to make if you put water on it!! Make sure to dry it with a fan to speed up the process.

Feels and Handles Like Real Clay

I tested this clay on a new tabletop pottery wheel I am planning to use for intro classes. I've been using pottery wheels and various Kiln fire clays for over 15 years. I am extremely impressed with how this clay handles when both hand building and wheel throwing.
I noticed in several of the lower reviews there were complaints of it cracking. Since the base of this product starts with a natural clay, I was not surprised by this. Baked polymer clays and other air dry clay products that have more synthetic ingredients will be more durable for some projects, but lack the feel of the real thing.
Natural clays like those used for standard pottery building like to crack when 1) its too thin 2) too thick 3) over worked or 4) because it feels like it. :-) None of the items I've created so far have given me any issues and are holding together beautifully.
If you are interested in beginning a journey in pottery building but not yet ready to invest in standard clays and a kiln, this is a fantastic choice.
I'm looking forward to introducing people to the joy of throwing pottery on a wheel without the need to have a working kiln!
I would recommend this to a friend!
