I am tired of boring pots for my interesting plants. Now I can make pots that compliment and elevate them.
I am also looking forward to making some small sculptures.

I use it for my children's art classes. It is a good enough for what I want them to know about sculpture but sometimes is a little fragile.

In the past I had always used Crayola air-dry clay with my students. I bought this clay because it was labeled "oven bake" and I thought it would be mroe realistic to professional kiln-dry clay. However, when we started using it we found that it dried out faster than my 7th grade students could work with it. They spent the first lesson struggling to keep the clay from breaking when they made it in to coils and tried wrapping it. The lesson was designed to last more than one 45 minute class period, so we wrapped up the pots in damp towels and covered them with wax paper like we had always done with the air-dry clay. When we came back the next morning, the clay was completely dried out and the towels were stuck to the clay. We ended up going back to the air-dry clay and starting over.

I enjoy working with clay and am always looking for alternative materials. This product caught my interest because of how it can be fired in a traditional oven. I also liked how it would dry over time unlike polymer clay. Unfortunately, when I try to work with this product, my hands get caked with dust really fast. It usually only takes a few minutes of handling time for it to become annoying. I will still use this clay, but not for making any sculptures. If you want to make small and simple things, this clay will work great. If you want to make something complicated and won't fit in the palm of your hand, I'd suggest buying something else.

This product is perfect if you don't have access to a kiln and want to work with clay. I used it to make several small sculptures, a coil pot, and a pinch vase and they all turned out great. After baking, there was minimal shrinking and they seem to be very durable. Will be purchasing again.
