How to Use:
Simply remove the desired amount of Paperclay from the package and begin sculpting. The clay remains workable whilst moist, allowing you to shape, mold, carve, and texture your creation. For best results, keep unused clay sealed in an airtight container. Once your project is complete, allow it to air dry naturally - drying time varies based on thickness (typically 24-72 hours).
Working Techniques:
-
Hand Sculpting: Shape and mold by hand for organic forms
-
Mold Casting: Press into molds for detailed reproductions
-
Armature Building: Build over wire or foil armatures for larger sculptures
-
Surface Texturing: Add texture with tools, stamps, or found objects
-
Layering: Add wet clay to dry pieces for repairs or additions
-
Carving: Carve details into partially dried clay
After Drying:
Once fully air-dried, Creative Paperclay becomes hard and durable, similar to wood or papier-mâché. The dried surface can be:
- Painted with any type of paint (acrylics, watercolours, oils, spray paint)
- Sanded smooth for a refined finish
- Drilled for hanging or assembly
- Sealed or varnished for protection
- Decorated with markers, pens, or pencils
Professional Applications:
Artists and crafters choose Creative Paperclay for its versatility and professional results. Create detailed sculptures, decorative ornaments, custom jewelry, doll parts, miniature food, floral arrangements, and architectural models. The lightweight dried finish makes it perfect for wearable art and hanging decorations.
Storage & Shelf Life:
Keep unused Paperclay in an airtight container or resealable plastic bag to prevent drying. If clay begins to dry out, add small amounts of water and knead until workable consistency is restored. Properly stored, Paperclay has an excellent shelf life.
Why Choose Creative Paperclay:
Creative Paperclay has been the choice of professional artists and crafters for decades. The unique formula combines the workability of traditional clay with the convenience of air-drying, eliminating the need for expensive kilns or ovens. The superior adhesion properties and paintable surface make it incredibly versatile for countless creative applications.
Tips for Best Results:
- Work on a non-stick surface or parchment paper
- Keep hands and tools slightly damp for smooth sculpting
- Allow adequate drying time before painting (24-72 hours depending on thickness)
- For large projects, build over an armature to reduce weight and drying time
- Seal finished pieces with varnish or sealer for added durability
