What Beginner & Experienced Potters Are Saying About Our Products
This clay is wonderfully soft and consistent. To be honest, it's so smooth that it seems like synthetic polymer clay, even though it's natural mineral type clay.
This has been my FAVORITE go to clay as a art teacher for a while now. It holds up in storage very nicely and doesn't dry out at all when needed (I store it wrapped in plastic in mini fridge). Super easy to work with and when pricing against other brands this has more bang for your buck.
I love this clay! So spongy!! Seller shipped it promptly and it arrived as described

Old Potters Pottery Clay FAQs
Is air-dry clay good for pottery DIY projects?
Yes, Old Potters Air Dry Clay can be used for a variety of DIY projects. Its smooth texture and pliable consistency help beginner and expert potters easily mold the clay into unique shapes.
What’s the difference between air-dry clay, stoneware, and porcelain clay?
Air-dry clay hardens naturally over time and dries more evenly in a slightly damp or controlled environment, while stoneware and porcelain require kiln firing to fully cure. Air-dry clay is great for beginners and DIY projects, while stoneware clay is valued for its strength and durability, and porcelain for its smooth texture and high-end finish.
