Kids project using Crayola Model Magic |
On the topic of air-dry clay, I sometimes see comments that it's just a kids clay and quality of clay isn't good enough for 'real' artwork. Sure, for many years about the only air-dry clay available was 'school grade' clay, intended for children in the classroom. The only art quality clays had to be kiln-fired. Then along came polymer clay, which, because it doesn't need a kiln, opened up the world of clay modeling to a lot more people. With this increased interest in modeling and sculpting as a hobby, an assortment of new clays became available, including NEW air-dry clays. Take a look of some of the ADC creations shown below...they range from simple kid crafts valued at pennies to complex ball-jointed dolls valued in the hundreds of dollars.
