The Creatistics Air Dry Ceramic Clay Terracotta – 10kg is an excellent classroom resource that allows students to explore hands-on creativity and three-dimensional art making. This easy-to-knead clay is perfect for sculpting personalised name plaques, imaginative characters, or models based on classroom themes such as animals or insects. The smooth-textured clay hardens naturally when left to air dry for 24 hours, keeping its shape without cracking or shrinking, and is ready for painting with any medium once dry.
This terracotta clay is also compatible with pottery wheels (such as AM1261) and can be kiln-fired at 1100°C – 1200°C (2012°F – 2192°F) under adult supervision to transform into porcelain. Once fired, students can use porcelain paints to decorate and then seal their creations with varnish to protect them, making their projects ideal as gifts or keepsakes. The rich terracotta hue gives artworks a natural, earthy look and serves as a beautiful base for vibrant colours. This clay also contributes to the development of fine motor skills, spatial awareness, and creative problem-solving. The 10kg pack includes 10 x 1kg individually wrapped packs, making it ideal for group use and storage.
