Air Drying Clay
Air drying clay is a water based clay, meaning when exposed to air, it will dry/cure as all moisture has evaporated. It's a much softer grade than oil-based clays, its soft texture makes it easy to manipulate into your sculpture to create large forms and features or during moulding processes!
So, if you are looking for a clay that dries at room temperature while maintaining high detail, our popular WED Clay and Buff Clay water-based clays are the ideal solution.
Professional Air Dry Clays for Sculpting and Design
When it comes to creating intricate models, prototypes, or master sculptures, air dry clays offer a versatile, high-performance alternative to traditional kiln-fired ceramics.
The main advantage of using a clay that dries in the air is the elimination of the kiln. As well as saving costs, the drying process is slower and easier to manage, and less susceptible to cracking than traditional ceramics. Professional-grade options like WED (Walter E. Disney) Clay provides the smooth texture of oil-based clay with the ease of a water-based air dry clay, allowing for incredibly fine detail retention.
These are the two most popular air drying clays in a wide range of industries.
