## Description

12.5kg Scola Airdrying Air Dry Clay : Terracotta Brown Scola Air-Hardening Clay has all the qualities of traditional clay except that it doesn't require firing, making it ideal for younger and less experienced modellers. It is reinforced with synthetic fibres for additional strength and a low shrinkage rate. Drying time will obviously vary according to the thickness and size of the model. Incomplete models can be kept workable under a damp cloth so that modelling can be spread over more than one session. More advanced potters can also use this versatile and economical clay as it can be fired if required. Finished models can be coated in PVA glue and decorated with acrylic paint.

Review: The best value for money and overall fantastic product - This is quite simply the best air drying clay you can buy for your money. The amount you get for the price you pay is incomparable to any other product available for sale right now. I've used other brands only to discover they are crumbly, brittle, dry too fast or cannot cope with any detail being added to an item. This however is incredibly soft yet durable and strong. It's able to support detailing with ease and is just an overall joy to use. I was close to giving up with air dry clay so I'm extremely happy to have found this brand. Hence taking the time to review it. Truly great and affordable product.
Review: Relaxing and rewarding & plenty of it! - I’m not an artist by any means but using this to create my own art has been relaxing and rewarding. Plenty of it and easy to use and to clean up afterwards too.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this clay any good for military diorama's please ?**
A: This is a difficult question as I only bought this for my grandchildren to play with.  They have made quite a few models - mainly of dragons, mice and monsters.  The clay molds well and will hold its shape easily but fine pieces such as small dragons feet break off when dry.  If your models are substantial in thickness they should be alright but anything that is thin will need reinforcement with matchsticks or something similar.  Whilst sourcing this I came across a bandage which is coated in plaster of paris and when soaked it can be wrapped around some models to give strength.  We have used it mainly around cardboard buildings and it works really well. Hope this helps.  Sandra

**Q: is the finished item frost proof, i would like to make garden ornaments**
A: No it is not waterproof you need to use a sealer for outside  they still disintegrate after time

**Q: Could you make an oil lamp with this clay?**
A: I am not sure that this would work. I think the clay would be too fragile when dried. I think you need something that you voild fire and glaze.

**Q: Can you put it in the oven after it’s dried?**
A: No, not in an oven, only in a kiln at 1000 celcius. It’s air drying though, so it dries without heat.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ great for creative kids and daubing your wattles
*by G***I on 12 December 2016*

great value clay. It is pretty rough and ready, not fantastic for fine detail and sometimes cracks as it drys but it is really easy to use and my not particularly artistic kids had a grand time cutting squidging and molding. I tried to dry slowly in a cool place (outside shed) to avoid cracking and this seemed to help. For my kids, the fun was in the process rather than the product. It was a great introduction to modeling for them and it was good to see them progress from simple shapes to more ambitious structures and gain an understanding of what it takes to create with clay. This is a good big bag of clay. I found it kept very well in the bay without drying out if i sprinkled a little water in after every use. I purchased this primarily to finish off the wattle and daub walls of a little playhouse I was building for my kids. Living in an area with only sandy soils I could not get any 'free clay', by digging it from the garden, to mix with dirt and straw to make the daub for my wattles. I started with equal volumes of clay, dirt and straw and mixed well by tramping with wellies on before applying to the walls in a thin layer. I left this to dry for a week then applied a layer with less dirt and straw and more clay, the final layer was just clay with a little dirt. It looks pretty good - there is cracking for sure but the straw binds it all together nicely. It is a really fun project if you have the time and inclination.
