Our grey modelling clay is a soft, easy-to-use air-drying clay designed for creative play, learning, and simple modelling projects. Suitable for use at home, in classrooms, or in workshop environments, it encourages creativity while helping develop fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and an understanding of shape and form.
This versatile clay dries naturally at room temperature, making it ideal for users who want to create without needing access to a kiln. Once fully dry, finished pieces can be decorated with paints, varnishes, or other craft finishes.
Key Features
Easy to shape
The smooth, workable texture allows children and beginners to roll, press, cut, and sculpt with ease. It holds detail well while remaining forgiving and easy to manipulate.
Air-drying convenience
No firing is required for most projects. Simply leave your creations to dry naturally, making it perfect for schools, families, and craft sessions.
Reinforced strength
Formulated with strengthening fibres to help reduce cracking and improve durability when dry, allowing models to hold together more reliably than standard air-drying clays.
Non-toxic formulation
Made from safe materials suitable for use by children under appropriate supervision.
Optional kiln firing
Although designed primarily as an air-drying clay, it can be fired for increased durability. Recommended firing range:
-
Grey clay: approximately 1000°C to 1280°C
-
Red version: up to approximately 1050°C
Ensure good ventilation during firing.
Suitable for a wide range of projects
-
Small sculptures and figurines
-
Decorative ornaments and seasonal crafts
-
Handprint or keepsake projects
-
Jewellery and small accessories
-
Bowls, pots, and simple vessels
