The biggest advantage of air-drying clay is, of course, that you don't have to bake it in an oven. This means you can be 100% sure of how your piece will look, even after it has dried. This clay is particularly suitable for smaller projects and is very easy to paint over. So, if you're not entirely happy with the color, you can simply change it once it's dry.
With air-drying clay, you need to be very careful to ensure your piece doesn't dry out before you're completely satisfied with it. Once it has dried, you can't make any changes. The best tip for working at your own pace is to keep the clay slightly moist. Not too wet, as the clay will become sticky, but slightly damp. You should also regularly moisten your hands while sculpting. This just works best!
Are you taking a break but want to finish your piece later? Wrap it in a damp cloth and place it in an airtight container in the fridge. This way, you can continue your work later without it drying out prematurely.
Satisfied with your piece? Simply let the air-drying clay dry naturally. Want an even better finish afterward? Take some fine sandpaper and smooth out your work before applying a varnish.
