12.5kg Scola Airdrying Air Dry Clay - Bulk Pack in Terracotta Brown - Nylon Reinforced for modelling

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.

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.

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.

So so much fun for the family. Easy to use and does dry within a day or two depending on how thick you make your items. Love the colour, easy to paint with acrylic if you like and easy to waterproof with sealant. Any cracks can easily be worked in with a bit of water. Please just be aware that if you are making figurines and are putting parts together they will need to be either worked in with plenty of water or superglued on as this is air drying clay so is not really wet enough to stick parts together - we found they fell apart once dry.

My grandchildren had lots of fun … easy to wash off hands clothes floor etc

The clay is really great and has been keeping me busy. It came soft and ready to use and has some wire to re-tie the bag in between use. The colour of the natural clay is gorgeous however a tip if you want vibrant colours do a quick layer of white paint first.

I received a product which did not have the packaging like the images shown, maybe another brand? Either way, this is superb. Easy to use and well sealed to prevent hardening.

Very good for the price. Nonetheless, it breaks easily, the nylon does not work very well. Very happy with the purchase though, lots of fun to practice and fast drying.
