How to add items

Please note that Oven and Air Dried clays are good for craft projects, for children, for decorative objects such as sculptures and jewelry.  They are not durable like fired clay.  True ceramics are fired at over 2000 degrees F, which turns the clay into a glass-like material.  This is impossible to do at oven temperatures.  Please keep this in mind when purchasing this product.  It cannot be used for kitchen tiles or bowls, for example. 

Laguna OvenCraft

A unique modeling clay that can be thrown on a potter's wheel or hand modeled like any high quality ceramic clay.  However, this clay will harden after baking for one hour in your kitchen oven at 350 degrees F.  Ideal for children's projects and miniatures, and anyone without access to a kiln.  Be sure to use an oven thermometer to verify temperature.  If baked at temperatures above 350 degrees F, excessive and undesirable smoke may result.  Non-toxic, ready to use.  After baking, OvenCraft is a beautiful, speckled, red-brown stoneware color.

Amaco Self-Hardening Clay   dryhard

Supplied in moist form ready to use.  May be shaped by hand or thrown on a wheel.  When dry, modeled objects are hard and durable without kiln or oven firing. However, they are not waterproof.  Decorate with Rub'n Buff or acrylic paints.

Mexican Pottery Clay is a rich red color, similar to Mexican or Indian pottery, and little or no decoration is necessary.   Marblex is a gray'ish white color.

Laguna Self-Hardening Clay   dryhard

Self hardening artist clay for school, home, arts and crafts.  Great for modeling, throwing, sculpting, and thousands of hobby projects.  Save the hassle and expense of kiln firing, while producing a finished product which dries leather hard in 24 hours and rock hard within several days.  Decorate with acrylic paints.  Must be sealed with a commercial water sealant to be waterproof.  List price on 25 lb is $46.  You save $4.

Amaco All-Purpose Sealer

Seals and protects almost any surface with a semi-matte finish.  It is a specially formulated water based sealant that brushes on white, dries clear and cleans off brushes with soap and water.  Ideal for sealing objects made with oven bake clay, air dry clay, and papier mache, and protects surfaces decorated with Rub 'n Buff.  (Note, this product helps protect surfaces but does not make them waterproof.) 

Artone Venus Modeling Clay (Non-hardening)

Although developed mainly for sculptors, this AP non-toxic clay is also an excellent medium for high school and college students.  It is firmer than plastiline type clays or water based clays.  This makes it easier to use, because it supports itself well and will not sag when modeling tall vertical pieces.  This clay is very plastic so additions of clay will stick to the work in progress and modeling can be continued until the work is done, no matter how long it takes.  Therefore there is no pressure to finish the piece within a certain length of time.

The texture of the clay is very smooth; therefore it works well for fine details.  This is perfect for making "master"pieces to be cast later in bronze, plaster, or any other medium because it does not shrink.  

Note: Contains sulfer.  It cannot be used in conjunction with RTV rubber molds.  Amaco Rubber Latex is recommended as a mold-making material.)
