How long does the clay take to dry?

The clay dries by itself when left alone for 24-48 hours. The drying time will vary depending on how thick the piece is. The thicker your piece is, the longer it will take to dry.

Do not put your piece in the oven or apply heat to try to speed this process up as this will likely lead to cracks in your masterpiece.

What should I use as a work surface?

We recommend working on a non-porous surface that the clay will not get stuck to, that way you can wipe it down easily when you're finished.

How do I paint and varnish my pottery creations?

Once clay is entirely dry (ensure it is not damp to the touch) apply paint as desired. Allow time for paint to dry before applying varnish as the final step.
