I love it

When I first opened the clay, it was extremelyyyy hard–I even put the amount I was going to use in a bag and sat on it for 20–25 minutes 🤪😢. It softened tiny bit after that, but rolling it out with a rolling pin still required a lot of effort. When I lifted, it cracked apart easily. Making a simple egg holder took much longer and was much harder than expected, so it wasn’t therapeutic at all 🫠 I couldn’t smooth the surface completely so some marks remained and water does not help because it is not like other clays material. For baking, I set the oven to 110 degrees and after 30 minutes it was still a bit soft. I kept baking it longer, but it didnt help and it only fully hardened during the cooling stage, so keep that in mind (image 2 is right after baking). It was perfectly hard after it cooled down. I bought 2 packs and probably wouldn’t buy it again, though the soft version(not the “professional”)might be more suitable. I usually work with air-dry and ceramic oven clay, so this consistency felt quite difficult and not very user friendly…

Do not be intimidated by this clay !! Great for beginners ! I ordered this clay on sale and was nervous it would come dry and crumbly from being shipped in the summer heat. I know some other brands of clay can semi cure in the mail, but this clay had no problems! Straight out of the package, it was easy to condition. It is more on the firm side so you will have to condition for a little longer, but it becomes very mailable with body heat. Additionally, with it being on the firm side, it makes it great for small details and holds shape very well !! It colors very easily (I used eyeshadows) and doesn’t affect the consistency. Bakes without any issues, no cracking whatsoever. Once it’s baked and cooled down, the clay is very sturdy and solid. Would recommend 10/10 !!
