Jovi Air-Dry Modelling Clay, 500 g, Fine Texture, Natural Color, Paintable When Dry, Fun Activity, Enhance Creativity, Ideal for Craft – Terracotta

Jovi Air-Dry Modelling Clay 500 g is a natural terracotta-colored clay that air-dries without firing. It's ideal for hand-building crafts, classroom projects, plaques, bowls, and small models. Once it dries, it becomes a solid surface that can be painted, varnished, and sanded.

Key features include a fine texture for detailed work, even air-drying with minimal warping, a finish that can be sanded smooth, texture-friendly surface for Impressing patterns, and a low-odour, child-friendly formulation.

Knead the clay to soften it, shape it by hand or with simple tools, and place it on a non-stick surface to air-dry. Thinner pieces dry faster (roughly 24–48 hours); thicker pieces may take up to 72 hours or longer. Avoid adding water during drying to prevent warping.

Once fully dry, sand any rough edges for a smooth finish, prime the surface to improve paint adhesion, then paint with acrylics or other compatible paints. You can seal with a clear varnish for extra durability.

Common uses include plaques and name signs, decorative bowls, small sculptures or models, ornaments, and texture-based crafts where fine detail and paintability are desired.

Store the clay in a sealed bag or airtight container in a cool, dry place. Proper storage helps maintain pliability and extends shelf life between projects.
