Welcome to our United States store. We ship to the entire country.
Made with 100% Organic and Natural Clay. It is a unique product that we have handled for decades that results in a red-fired ceramic. It is a national clay of the highest quality that we handle at Tierra de Barro.
This clay is for firing at low temperatures. It is an excellent recommendation for beginner ceramists. To obtain the red color, it must be fired at a temperature between 800 to 900 degrees Celsius. If left to dry in the air for a few days, it will turn brown. The clay has a high plasticity to make figures of recommended size up to 40 centimeters. A special characteristic of this clay is that it acquires excellent resistance (hardness) when raw when dried without the need to be baked. To reach its maximum hardness, it must be baked.
The clay comes kneaded by hand, ready to model and of spectacular quality. The product comes very soft for better malleability. If a firmer consistency is required, it must be left to dry for a while until it reaches the required hardness. When the product comes kneaded, it is important that it maintains its humidity. It is recommended that once the bag is opened, add a little water before closing it again.
It is ideal for modeling, although our clients also give it various uses and applications. From sculptures to crafts such as school use, workshops, rehabilitation, among others. If you choose to dry it in the environment, the figures can be decorated later with paints such as watercolors. It was designed to measure for great artists as a top quality clay. Once you try it, you won't want to stop using it for your ceramics.
Our products are non-toxic, which means you can make pieces like glasses or plates without any problem. It can be used using the turning, pressing and hand-made techniques.
The product is suitable for children over 3 years old, always under the supervision of an adult, as small pieces could be swallowed and cause some kind of problem, such as choking, like any modeling clay or toy.
