- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 September 2020Size Name: CLAY TERRACOTTA 1KGVerified PurchaseWell if DaVinci could sculpt snails and sharks he might match my genius using this stuff which, it seems I have a talent for.
At least that's what my grandchildren think anyway.
Given the current situation my wife and I do our bit with our six year old grandchildren and when they come over and visit we make the effort to do something a bit 'old school' and hands on. This time we decided that modelling clay would be a good occupier of time and hands and it proved to by thus.
Now, when dealing with six year olds one has to accept that there may be a fair bit of commissioning involved and that certainly proved to be the case with us with the small people in our lives requesting ever more complicated works of art.
Well I gave it my best shot and managed a very good snail, a passable shark and a somewhat down at heel tyrannosaurus rex. I made sure it was a joint effort with my grandchildren making up various sausages to be formed collectively into various shapes.
When we finished we had a collection of perhaps less than able animals but had used up quite some time together discussing and working on these art works. That's worth quite a bit I'd say and it's nice to see that even in these computer dominated times children can still get something from basic craft materials and a bit of help and time.
To use it's easy. Just open the bag, cut off what you need and once you have kneaded it a bit to make it more pliable for moulding and forming off you go. It's water soluable so when joining or smoothing a little bit applied helps it out.
Once the masterpiece is made all you have to do is leave it out to air dry which, it does in a couple of days in a warm environment.
As it's water soluable it's easy to wash up afterwards with no manky stuff on one's hands. I'm not quite sure that would be the case on nice soft furnishings so best make sure wherever this is used is wipe down.
Overall a great craft product even if you are a serious modeller or sculptor making genuinely good art.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 July 2025Size Name: CLAY TERRACOTTA 1KGVerified PurchaseWhy did you choose this product over others?:
Good clay quality. Hardly any smell. Wasn't sticky
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 November 2023Size Name: CLAY TERRACOTTA 1KGVerified PurchaseI accidently bought the wrong colour when I bought this, but I used it any way as I only noticed that once I had opened it! It was easy to mould, dried fine and I managed to do what I wanted to, but I really do wish it was white! I think that would have looked better for what I wanted. But this was nice to work with.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 February 2025Size Name: CLAY TERRACOTTA 1KGVerified PurchasePerfect, thanks, great price, cheaper than high street stores.
Ensure you put unused stuff in an airtight container as soon as possible, and air gets to it is starts to dry right away.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 February 2025Size Name: CLAY TERRACOTTA 1KGVerified PurchaseThis air dry clay is really good. It didn’t crack when drying out and was easy to mould with. Would definitely recommend DAS modelling clay.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 March 2025Size Name: CLAY TERRACOTTA 1KGVerified PurchaseNo problems reported from the student
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 May 2025Size Name: CLAY TERRACOTTA 1KGVerified PurchaseFab. It made such a difference. New mattress but was too firm for me. The topper sorted that.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 April 2022Size Name: CLAY TERRACOTTA 1KGVerified PurchaseI’ve used this clay often before however this was my first time ordering it from Amazon, it was a very weird texture almost slimy and gunky not what I was used to using before, however Amazon was happy to help me and process a refund for the item as a replacement was jot an option.
