Note — This clay is AP non-toxic when moist but carries a health warning when it is in dry form.

Note — Any combination of clay, plaster, and molding material totaling 50 lbs or more does not qualify for our free shipping offer.

Great Air-Dry Clay

Comments about Amaco Mexican Pottery Clay:

We've used this clay for a Girl Scout activity for years. It's easy to work with, cuts with a wire, leftover can be kept in refrigerator or even frozen until you need it and it dries nicely. If you are making a flat object, you will need to keep an eye on it as it dries as the edges will curl up slightly.

Comments about Amaco Mexican Pottery Clay:

I used air drying clay for the first time. The product was ideal for the circumstances. I taught a clay weekend retreat in the mountains for ten people. The results were amazing and everyone was ready to do more. As an art teacher, the outcome was as good as it could be.

Mexican Pottery Clay

By Bill

from La Quinta

Pros

Cons

Best Uses

Comments about Amaco Mexican Pottery Clay:

As I start spinning pottery again after 30+ years, I find the clay to be very usable. I like the fact that it is self hardening since I do not have the availablity of a kiln. It would be nice if each box had an informational sheet, explaining what can and can not be done with the clay.....e.g. baked in an oven, the specific glazes that would work with the clay, etc. Not a big deal however.

Comments about Amaco Mexican Pottery Clay:

It's really easy to work with, but the package could use some improvement, since is a humid product, if air gets in, the clay could get a little mold, you can scrape it off and it's all good tho.
