• Keep unused clay in a plastic bag or wrapped in damp cloth to prevent drying out.
• It will shrink during drying, so it is best to hollow out bulky sculptures or wrap a slab of clay around a loose crumpled paper armature before modeling.

• When piece is completely dry, decorate with AMACO® Rub ‘n Buff®, school paints, temperas, acrylics or liquid crayons.
