Air-Dry Clay with the Properties of Natural Clay
Zart Oz Clay is an Australian-made air-drying clay, offering an affordable and accessible alternative to traditional kiln-fired clay. Designed for classroom use, this versatile, natural-feel clay allows students to develop essential sculpting skills without needing a kiln. It air dries with minimal shrinkage, making it perfect for constructing larger forms over armatures such as newspaper, wire, or foil, reducing the amount of clay needed. If the clay becomes too firm or starts to crack, simply add water to soften it. Once dry, artworks can be painted with acrylics or finished with Supermix Pastels softened with a hairdryer for a beautiful matte effect. For outdoor durability, apply several coats of UniLac varnish to weatherproof models. Store unused clay wrapped in plastic in a cool place to maintain its workability.
