What to Know About the Clay
The natural clay will start drying as soon as it’s exposed to air.
- Store your unused clay in an airtight container or plastic zip bag.
- This clay will need to dry over night or even longer if you are in a humid temperature.
- It is fragile after drying and can easily break.
- Display like a piece of art in a place where it doesn’t get bumped to prevent damage.
- For decorative purposes only. Clay should not be used with food or drink.
What to Know About the Paint
This paint is a non-toxic acrylic paint that will wash off skin with soap and water but may stain other surfaces.
- To protect your work surface, lay down newspaper or an old towel where you will be working.
- Have water and a towel handy to clean up any spills.
- Wear a smock, apron or play clothes to work in so you don’t ruin nice clothes.
- Before painting, mix the paint as it may settle or separate over time.
- If the paint seems too thick, add a drop of water and stir.
- When changing colors, rinse and dry your brush to keep colors from mixing in the pots.
