AMACO 4630-2B Air Dry Modeling Clay, 10-Pound, White

THIS IS THE BEST CLAY SO FAR! VERY strong, seems super soft at first but it's fun and easy to work with! Takes a little bit longer to dry maybe about 4 days but it's worth it. It doesn't really have a smell and at first it seems like it's going to make your hands messy but it does NOT make a sticky mess trust me! I see the bad reviews and I honestly see imperfections on their half's that would make the clay crack. This clay never cracked ONCE on me. I don't advise adding water unless ABSOLUTELY necessary! Very good buy and it's my brand new go to clay.

This is a great product. I got this clay on sale so instead of $23 I got it for $14! This is a good quality clay, it dried within a couple of days. Something I noticed is that it has a powdery texture once it dries and if you rub your finger on it, a little bit of the powder goes onto your finger, but that doesn’t make it a bad product. If you do get this clay I would not do thin pieces because it isn’t as strong when it’s thin. I would definitely get this clay again whoever I do pottery again. The picture shows the pieces I did, I did not have a pottery wheel so they aren’t perfect but still they are great! 👍 I also made another piece but didn’t show it because I didn’t like it so I am remixing it into clay to make a different piece!

I ordered WHITE,but the clay I received is GRAY.I double checked my order and the package.The box says WHITE,exactly same as the photo of the product, but the clay inside is GRAY...I took a little clay and waited for a while but still gray.========================================================================Update:When completely dry, it became somewhat white or grayish white.Pros:-very smooth-soft-low price-reasonable (It became clay again after mixed with water with my broken piece.)Cons:-easy to break (if you make thin pieces)-not perfectly whiteI bought other brand's similar clay and found out this product is better. I changed my rating from three-star to four star. This is a great clay with this price.

Let me tell you that I underestimated just how much clay this is. It’s a lot. I used it to warm up my sculpting skills and do simple crafts. It doesn’t stick to other surfaces well. But it’s fun to play around with. I ended up growing out of air dry clay but I gave it to my little siblings and they had a great time.

I got this because I have seen so many DIY projects on Youtube and thought I would be able to do a lot of projects with my grand kids. Very Disappointing.1)This clay is not white but is definitely grey, see photos.2) It is much more like regular clay that needs to be fired and should not be advertised as "Air Dry" in large letters on front. Overnight it is still not fully dry.3) Clay is hard to work with for kids, sticks to fine molds. We used beautiful carved stone pieces as molds, but the clay sticks and is very difficult to remove from a mold and the bottom has to be scraped off your table with a strong, hard, sharp spatula or maybe knife, it bunches up and breaks.4) This clay CRACKS, A LOT and it happens to everything so far.5) This clay does not soften up and stretch like air dry clay.4) I was planning on making jewelry and other intricate projects, totally won't work!It was hard for my grand kids 4 & 5 to see grandma struggling to carefully remove their little masterpieces with a sharp spatula, over and over again the clay just bunches up can not be removed from flat surfaces after it is molded. Kids lost interest as each piece was a sorry flop. I finally got a sad looking piece to save for each of them, but today still isn't dry. Our plan was to paint these when they harden but that may be some time. Actually this clay has all the bad parts of traditional clay and all the bad parts of air dry clay with cracking and sticking etc! Would not recommend except maybe for the low price you could use it for something, I'm just not sure now what!

This clay was EXCELLENT for a day camp art project. It was perfect, high-quality artist's clay, that was a great consistency for children's hands. They were able to mold it and roll it, but it took some pinching/pulling/pounding- which is exactly what I wanted. Their projects turned out great. I used about 2/3's of this box for 18 children to make a small (3"-5" or so) fish sculpture. They also painted them with acrylic paint (before they had dried) and it worked perfectly. They dried in the sun all afternoon and were ready to go home when parents picked up. I will purchase this again for similar art projects in the future, as it is such a better price than the name-brand stuff and very high quality.

I tested a cat planter, before handing it off to my children. It's pretty easy to use for someone who doesn't do any type of sculpting or pottery, but is willing to try for an affordable price. The only issue is thinner areas break easy. I had to super glue an ear back on. Overall it's a nice airdry clay and easy to smooth with a bit of added water.
