AMACO Mexican Pottery Clay, Self-Hardening, 25 lbs.

Terra Cotta, our premium self-hardening clay, boasts a rich formulation perfect for various crafting pursuits. Hand builders and sculptors alike can appreciate its versatility, which extends to wheel throwing techniques.

When shaped into objects, Terra Cotta offers Native American or Mexican pottery-like aesthetics, often with minimal or no additional decoration required. The clay is moist and ready-to-use, ensuring smooth modeling experiences.

Once completed, the pieces dry hard and durable, although not waterproof. They are open to painting, allowing for even more creative expression.

For optimal storage of unused clay, wrap it in a plastic bag or damp cloth to prevent drying out. It's essential to note that the clay may shrink during the drying process, so hollowing out bulky sculptures or securing loose paper armatures beforehand can be helpful.

Allow your finished piece to dry slowly and evenly at room temperature, away from heat sources until it becomes hard. Once completely dry, you can enhance its beauty by decorating with AMACO® rub 'n buff®, school paints, temperas, acrylics, or liquid crayons. In a generous offering, the package includes a substantial 25 lbs. of Terra Cotta clay for your crafting adventures.
