Dala Air Drying Clay is a durable and versatile modelling material that hardens naturally without the need for baking or firing. Designed for both educational and professional use, it provides a reliable medium for sculpting, modelling, and decorative applications. The clay should be kneaded until soft and pliable before shaping into flat or three-dimensional forms. A small amount of water can be used to smooth joins, seal cracks, and maintain workability. If the clay becomes too stiff, it can be softened with water; if excess water is added, allow it to evaporate before continuing. This material accepts surface decoration and texture well. Impressions can be made using wire mesh, stamps, or moulded items, and additional elements such as beads, stones, or other embellishments may be pressed into the clay while damp. Drying should take place on a smooth, non-porous surface in a cool, dry environment out of direct sunlight. Drying time will vary depending on thickness but is typically up to 24 hours. Once fully hardened, the clay may be painted with Acrylic Paint and finished with a Varnish for added protection.
