Discover our selection of self-hardening clay with natural drying for guaranteed professional results.
Self-hardening clay revolutionizes modeling by eliminating the need for firing. It hardens naturally in the open air in 24-48 hours, offering strength comparable to that of terracotta. Perfect for beginners and experts alike, it guarantees long-lasting creations without the need for specialized equipment.
No more kiln stress or risk of burns! Self-hardening clay simply solidifies on contact with ambient air, transforming your living space into a veritable creative workshop. This makes the activity accessible everywhere: at home, at school, in a leisure center or even outdoors on sunny days. No need to invest in a specialized oven or monitor complex baking temperatures.
Toddlers discover the pleasure of modeling simple, colorful shapes, while experienced artists explore sophisticated sculpting and finishing techniques. This versatility makes it the ideal medium for multi-generational families, allowing everyone to create at their own level while sharing the same creative passion.
Unlike traditional clay, it doesn't stick to the hands and can be worked without excessive effort. Once hardened, its homogeneous surface accepts all types of finishing: sanding for a smooth finish, painting to personalize, engraving for fine details. This versatility enables a natural creative progression, from rough form to the most refined finishes.
For self-hardening clay, use a water-based acrylic varnish :
Total compatibility: does not degrade clay
Effective protection: resists humidity, dust and light scratches
Easy application: quick-drying and water-based clean-up
Variety of finishes: matte, satin or gloss, as you prefer. Available in spray for added convenience.
Yes, absolutely! Once dry, self-hardening clay paints very well with acrylics. Apply a light primer, then your colors. An acrylic varnish finalizes and protects your creation.
Acrylic paint is the best choice for self-hardening clay. It adheres perfectly to dry clay without degrading it, and offers excellent coverage thanks to its opaque pigments. It's easy to apply, dries quickly and cleans up easily with water. You'll find a wide choice of colors on our site.
Tip: Apply two thin coats for an even finish, then protect your creation with a varnish to make it last longer.
In general, 24 to 48 hours depending on thickness and brand. Thicker areas may take longer. Always read the manufacturer's instructions.
