5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent without kiln for small projects
(function() { P.when('cr-A', 'ready').execute(function(A) { if(typeof A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel === 'function') { A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel('review_text_read_more', 'Read more of this review', 'Read less of this review'); } }); })(); .review-text-read-more-expander:focus-visible { outline: 2px solid #2162a1; outline-offset: 2px; border-radius: 5px; } This clay is quite literally amazing. I was able to get 25 lbs of air dry clay for less than half the cost of some other brands.Here's what to expect: The clay does air dry relatively quickly (it varies depending on the thickness of the piece, but a piece the size and shape of a golf ball would take about 10 minutes to start drying on the outside and maybe an hour to fully dry out), so make sure you keep it moist and air-tight when storing (I usually keep a spray bottle on hand when I'm modelling to re-moisten the clay); though it is air drying, it is best suited for use with a kiln if you intend on putting your finished product through any use. Once dry, if it hasn't been kiln fired, it will be pretty brittle and easy for thinner bits to break off. I use the clay to make small figurines and jewelry pieces without a kiln and I haven't hand any bad experiences, so as long as your product has a nice, solid base without a lot of thin bits hanging off you should be fine without a kiln. If you do want to add a little strength but don't have a kiln, I suggest varnishing with a coat or two of polyurethane or similar. This will help ensure the piece stays intact and whatever colors your paint on or mix in will not get rubbed or flaked off.Update: 7/12/16Its been about 5 months since I last used this clay and I've kept it stored in a moist plastic bag tied off with a twist-tie and put into a lockable box. I check it a few days ago and it is still incredibly moist and holding its texture just fine. This clay is definitely the real deal and will keep for a very long time as long as it remains moist.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great Clay!
What a great value! This clay come good and moist. It air dries very well too! I started out using crayola brand (which is now garbage to me btw) it was always too dry and difficult to work with. This clay is AWESOME! I love it and it costs a lot less too.
5.0 out of 5 stars A great way to make keepsakes
What a great product! AMACO 46318 Air Dry Clay is awesome. The kids have never made things will clay before, and it sparked their creativity. While I'd love to have a kiln, this clay works great for pinch pots, figures, plaques, and other things. Make sure you give it plenty of time to dry, at least a couple days depending on the size of your project. Did some research and acrylic paints should work well to paint our projects. Keep in mind, that this clay, and the paint are not food safe. If you have a kiln, then get the proper clay. This clay works great for keepsakes though.
5.0 out of 5 stars Lots of fun!!
This was my first time using clay since middle school and I think this specific clay is great for beginners. I haven’t had any cracks at all but I don’t use any water when working with it so I’m not sure if that’s why I don’t get the cracks others complained about. It is somewhat brittle once dry but I think that’s the same with all air dry clay.
4.0 out of 5 stars A LOT of good clay
This is my first time using anything but sculpey. This stuff is really awesome. There was enough to make this life size bust plus a lot of extra left over. If you keep it covered in the plastic in came in, it should stay wet through the night or however long you happen to leave it. I do not plan on letting it air dry so I won't comment on that but I will say that the little bit I left out over night was extremely brittle and turned to dust when I pinched it between my fingers. I wouldn't recommend letting it air dry. The package shipped earlier than estimated by almost a week. It is very heavy clay so I suggest making a support system with pipe and a wood base to form the clay around. A quick tip: taking water on your fingers is a great way the smooth the clay down. Overall, this stuff is awesome for an amazing price.Update: I've actually decided to let it air dry since it isn't my best work and it cracked quite a bit. Nothing a little patching up couldn't fix and now it is good as new. It dried very solid and even. I did paint over the wet clay with velvet under glaze before leaving it to dry and that seemed to help alot. I would just say that this is really good and cheap to mess around with.
5.0 out of 5 stars I love it.
The media could not be loaded. easy to work with. shrinks little bit though.
3.0 out of 5 stars Not white
Product came on time, large amount, easy to work with, it's a good 'learning' clay. This is labeled (white) and there is nothing white about it. Very deep grey and dries only slightly lighter. It does say color varies but then don't say it's white!!
5.0 out of 5 stars Be smart about drying the clay!
Loved this product!Just a couple pointers:ALL air dry clay is prone to cracking. The way it dries, the outside normally dries faster than the inside, which causes shrinkage and cracking.I left this little project out for about an hour or two after finishing sculpting it, then I put it in the COLD oven, turned the oven to 225 degrees, set a timer for 17 minutes, then turned off the oven when the alarm went off. Then, I left it in the oven and DID NOT open the oven, until it was completely cool. In this case, I left it overnight and pulled it out in the morning.It was perfect. No cracks, and ready to paint.Best of luck everyone!!

Great
Perfect for air dry pottery items made at a play therapy office. Very easy for kids to use
Clay was Moldy
I had to cut off a thin slice of the each side of the clay due to mold. The clay was still nice to work with, however, when it dried, it broke very easily and fell apart. Would recommend buying better quality clay.
Horrible, caro y seco
The media could not be loaded. El artículo llegó muy mal empaquetado, la bolsa estaba abierta y por eso la arcilla estaba seca al 85%, era imposible de cortar y mucho menos trabajar con ella. Me animé a comprarla a pesar de su alto precio por los comentarios positivos pero lo que yo recibí fue un bloque de piedra!Tuve que devolverlo y me da mucho coraje porque necesitaba el producto y no hay otros proveedores que manejen este formato en arcilla de secado al aire.
Health risk once opened
I was happy to get the clay earlier then expected but I was not happy to find out that it's moldy I'm a very allergic to mold I had to use my emergency inhaler and my respirator for 5 minutes just so I could breathe again. Please stop bacteria and warm moist air from getting into the packaging to avoid further mold before shipping
