5.0 out of 5 stars Great for slab-building and carving
I bought the terracotta version. This is a lovely clay to work with. I am new to working with clay and am making pinch-pots, having a go at carving and trying slab-building. This clay is excellent for all of the above.It is ready to use straight out of the bag, not too wet, not too dry. It doesn't dry out too quickly, so I don't feel rushed when building/carving/sculpting, and don't have to keep misting the clay too much while I work.I barely notice the fibres in it while working, and it's easy to carve despite the fibres, as long as you wait till the clay is the right hardness for carving. Try to carve too early on in the drying process and the fibres will drag as you carve. But once it is leather-hard, you won't notice the fibres at all and can cut sharp, clean lines.So far I've made bowls, dishes, I've made and carved tiles, and a dish to hold my paint brushes etc. Some dishes I have made very fine - very thin walls, and they have held together well and don't feel fragile. All have turned out great. I have used both additive and reductive processes and the clay responds well to both, as long as you know what you're doing!There are no cracks in any of my pieces so far. I learned through using other air-dry clays to dry my creations slowly, in a cool spot. If I want to carve something the next day, I leave it in a plastic bag overnight so it doesn't dry out too much.I don't use a potters wheel so can't comment on how this clay responds to that.I agree with other reviewers that you cannot make slip with this clay. I do want to experiment with slip at somme point, I will have to try a different clay for that.All in all, this clay is a great choice at a great price. The amount of clay you get is amazing.
5.0 out of 5 stars Lovely to use and mould with
Great product and great consistency. Make sure you keep it stored in an airtight container for longevity and you won’t go wrong! Deffo buying again.
4.0 out of 5 stars Nice alternative to clay that is fired
This is a nice product to work with, and can be worked, as is, right out of the package. If you transfer the clay to an airtight container (in it'soriginal plastic packaging), it doesn't dry out.I don't think this product is suitable for potting, in the traditional sense, but works fine for arts and crafts. I make puppet heads and it is suitable for this.It takes about three days to dry. One of my heads got a few small fine cracks, but the rest haven't cracked at all. I think it depends on how much water you add whilst modelling. Less seems better.This 12.5kg size is really good value for money.Other than that delivery was surprising and the product came within 2 days.
5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect crafting clay
We used this for a forest school session. We mixed the clay with mud & used natural resources to make masks! Massive hit with the kids!

Seems good quality, got it for a kids craft event, went down well, weight was accurate, carved it with a butter knife.
3.0 out of 5 stars Not the best air-dry clay out there...
When I came across this listing for so much air-dry clay, it seemed almost too good to be true. My husband surprised me with it for Valentine's Day, since I run a small business and I sell handmade clay pieces. And immediately after getting my hands into it the first time, I noticed it was extremely wet. I've worked with other clays before this one, so I know clay is typically wet. But this was way too wet! And because of that, the clay was really muddy and was falling apart in my hands as I was trying to work with it. I actually needed to and leave my bit of clay out on my crafting table for almost 2½ days just for it to dry up enough for me to handle it a bit better. After the 2½ days of drying out, I was finally able to actually hold the clay solidly in my hands and not have it fall apart; but now the problem was that there wasn't enough moisture in it! Ugh. Go figure.When I wet my hands and then grabbed my bit of clay again, and began to work the water into the clay, it wasn't reacting the way I thought it was going to. Typically with other air-dry clays I've used before, using water will soften the clay and make it easier to roll/form/shape. But with this clay it stayed wet on the surface, which made the clay sticky. But the water wasn't mixing with the clay beyond making the surface of it super sticky and mushy. And even as I continued to work the clay, and I tried to get the wet clay to blend with the dryer parts of the clay, it still wasn't getting much softer.As someone who also suffers with chronic pain, particularly in my joints, it physically pained me to work the clay as much as I did while I tried to familiarize myself with it time and time again. After all that kneading and rolling, and to have it still not turn out the way it should have was just a big waste and a shame. I really wanted this clay to work for me, as it would have been well worth the price.My review is just one of the many. And a majority of people seem to really love this clay and seem to give it 5 stars because it worked for them. Unfortunately, I can't do the same. I just found this clay really, really difficult to work with. It was either too wet - thus making the clay sticky, runny, and messy - or it's too dry and stiff - thus making it too difficult to actually try and shape and form anything with it. Typically adding water would make a hard clay a bit easier to work with, but with this clay it doesn't. It just gets messier and stickier and it starts falling apart. I'm disappointed that this clay wasn't able to work for me, so I'll be switching back to my usual brand of air-dry clay that I use (which sadly doesn't come in 12kg bags for a cheap price lol).I would say order this clay with caution, as it may not work for you like how it was for me. I took a chance on this clay, thinking it would be perfect just like all the other positive reviewers said. I'm not sure what was different about this batch of clay that I got, if there was a difference at all. But it didn't work for me and I was glad I was able to receive a refund for it as quickly as I did. Thanks Bolo Customer Support!
