It starts to crack after a while, perhaps a month or two, even if no one is touching it.
This is something I do about once a month with elementary school kids. It has the potential to produce either a masterpiece or a delicate mess. It depends on how much effort is put into working the clay and smoothing it out. Kneading and taking care of a piece will ensure that the clay dries evenly and without cracking.
I made Christmas ornaments out of mine as well. I don't use glaze; instead, I use sticky paint glue (colorful glue) and an ornery in the back room. Everything is still in tact. You could look up the glaze on the internet or contact Crayola for more information. I'm pretty sure I didn't use any. All you need is clay and a cookie cutter to complete this project. It was just bad luck at first, but there was never a problem!

When you first open it, it's like play dough. With the addition of water, it becomes sticky, but that is to be expected with any clay. I had a fantastic time during my stay.
It is devoid of all power. This clay should not be purchased! I am an art teacher at an elementary school that does not have a kiln, so I decided to give this clay a try. It had been a nightmare. It is devoid of power! It crumbles completely when it is completely dry. Worst of all! It's also impossible to glue because the clay particles are too loosely packed. It simply breaks off once more.
My seven-year-old son has developed a strong interest in clay modeling and sculpting. We were just going to the craft store every now and then to pick up individual Model Magic clay packs, but she and her brother were both forgetting to put their clay back in seal-able bags. able bags, and I believe she felt constrained by the color palette. With the air of white- She's created so many cool things out of dry clay that she paints them after a day or two. The majority of the items she creates are palm-sized and dry in less than a day. She takes only what she requires from the container and then closes it. It's a clever way of containing it. I also bought her a clay modeling book with large illustrations of adorable animals. This should keep her busy this summer, in my opinion.
This clay is a hit with my daughters. They've created miniature (decorative) items. plates and bowls that are teeny-tiny) If you intend to dry the clay creation, make sure you have a small amount of water, a sponge or paper towel, and patience on hand, as the clay can crumble and the shape may not hold. However, moistening it with a little water (think a squeezed out sponge or paper towel) and smoothing out any cracks or openings can help.
I'm working with clay for the first time. It's incredibly simple to use - Easy to remove or add to, holds nice details, and acrylic paint is easy to apply after it has dried completely. So far, there has been no evidence of cracking. Although the final product is brittle, it can be handled with care. I've used it to create a number of mountains. I'm really pleased with how much detail and color I was able to get. For a low-cost, no-firing clay, you can't ask for much more.
For such a small sum of money, there is a lot here. br>br>This was a great purchase for us because my daughter and I like to use it to make small figures that we then paint. They dry rock solid in a matter of days. br>br> I haven't had any of the crumbling issues that some others have had; in fact, everything we've built has been extremely durable. br>br>Model magic is nice to use, but it doesn't give you the level of detail that this stuff does. It's basically clay, and it works in the same way that clay does. It also looks great when painted. br>br>It's a little messier than model magic, especially if you use water to soften some of it up, but that's not a problem for me.
I created ornaments for the holidays. I haven't worked with clay in 15 years, since I was in high school. All of the techniques I learned in high school pottery classes appeared to be effective. It helps to use clean tools, so if you're using a cookie cutter, clean it after every 2-minutes. Cut into three different shapes. The thicker ornaments are a little heavy for the tree, but the thinner ones appear to be just as sturdy, so if you're making ornaments, you don't need to make them super thick. I'm satisfied with it in general.
This is/was my son's favorite clay to work with when he was younger. He'd spend hours drawing maps and accessories for all of the landscapes in his imaginary world. I give this as a gift on a regular basis, but I always warn the parents that if they don't close the lid tightly, the contents will dry up. Choose the large size because it's simply more enjoyable to use!.
