Even with some varieties, before starting to work with this flexible dough, it helps to knead it firmly beforehand to start “taming” it.<\/p>\n On the bright side, if you master one modeling clay, you will be much more comfortable using the other types of traditional clays.<\/p>\n This paste does not require special tools or anything like that, any utensil you have at home, in addition to your own hands will do. Of course, we will have to use a flat and clean surface to work on. A rolling pin, a knife, and other objects that you may have in the kitchen will be useful, of course, separating the food use from the one to work with the modeling paste. <\/p>\n Over time you may need other items, such as specific molds or rubber stamps for stamping, but in principle it is not necessary to buy anything to model this material.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Due to its composition and porosity this material is not suitable for food use.<\/strong><\/p>\n One option is to use specific varnishes for this type of pastes which, obviously, in addition to not including lead or cadmium in their composition, state in the product specifications that they are suitable for this use.<\/p>\n There doesn’t seem to be too much supply of these types of materials, there are a couple of them that may be worthwhile:<\/p>\n Honestly, we regret that we cannot give you specific advice on them, as we have not tested them directly.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n No, this paste will not be useful to make any object that is in contact with water<\/strong>. It is not a good idea to use it if its location is in a place with high humidity, that is, we would not use it as a soap dish or to decorate a bathroom. If the piece comes in direct contact with water, it will be damaged. <\/p>\n If it is in an enclosure with too much humidity what will happen is that it will absorb it and although in the first days we do not notice any problem, with time it will swell inside and deform.<\/p>\n We may think that we could give it a coat of paint or some transparent material as a seal against water, but a seal that completely isolates the paste from water will be quite difficult to achieve, due to the porosity of this moldable clay, it will probably be more practical to choose a material suitable for water or humidity<\/strong> from the beginning.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/arteologic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Hada-en-pasta-de-secado-al-aire.webp” alt=”Fairy in air-drying paste” title_text=”Fairy in air-drying paste” module_class=”zoooom” _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”50f003d9-9a19-46a5-8416-521a9489c9fa” custom_margin=”60px||||false|false” animation_style=”none” box_shadow_style=”preset3″ box_shadow_horizontal=”0px” box_shadow_vertical=”12px” box_shadow_blur=”18px” box_shadow_spread=”-6px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.0″ _module_preset=”4b624526-6a36-44b6-909b-7368149afdfd” text_font=”|300|||||||” text_font_size=”16px” custom_margin=”10px||10px||false|false” custom_padding=”||6px||false|false” text_font_size_tablet=”15px” text_font_size_phone=”14px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n OOAK doll by Dina from That Creative Feeling<\/em><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”45941f4e-a49b-46c5-963f-947518df306d” text_font=”Oswald|300|||||||” text_text_color=”#000000″ text_font_size=”17px” background_enable_color=”off” use_background_color_gradient=”on” background_color_gradient_stops=”rgba(236,129,24,0.23) 0%|rgba(236,129,24,0.91) 79%” text_orientation=”center” max_width=”12%” max_width_tablet=”30%” max_width_phone=”50%” max_width_last_edited=”on|desktop” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”||29px||false|false” custom_padding=”8px|5px|8px|5px|false|false” scroll_scaling_enable=”on” scroll_scaling=”0|50|50|100|100%|102%|100″ border_radii=”on|5px|5px|5px|5px” border_color_all=”#FFFFFF” box_shadow_style=”preset3″ box_shadow_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0.17)” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}” transform_styles__hover_enabled=”on|hover” transform_scale__hover_enabled=”on|hover” transform_translate__hover_enabled=”on|desktop” transform_rotate__hover_enabled=”on|desktop” transform_skew__hover_enabled=”on|desktop” transform_origin__hover_enabled=”on|desktop” transform_scale__hover=”103%|103%”]<\/p>\n VIEW SHOP<\/a><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider show_divider=”off” module_id=”comoseseca” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” background_enable_color=”off” custom_padding=”50px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”a2f533e2-9ee7-4615-bd4f-9d4f36476524″ custom_margin=”0px||50px||false|false” custom_padding=”25px||20px||false|false” header_3_font_size_tablet=”28px” header_5_font_size_tablet=”18px” header_5_font_size_phone=”18px” border_radii=”on|5px|5px|5px|5px” box_shadow_style=”preset2″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”a2f533e2-9ee7-4615-bd4f-9d4f36476524″ custom_margin_phone=”80px||||false|false” header_3_font_size_tablet=”28px” header_5_font_size_tablet=”18px” header_5_font_size_phone=”18px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n As the name suggests, this dough is air-dried at room temperature.

Although this makes it a little difficult to knead the dough, it helps the piece to contract with the loss of humidity and prevents cracks from appearing<\/strong>. <\/p>\n The differences in composition, humidity, characteristics, etc. make some pastes more prone to cracking than others, with time we will find the one that best suits our work and also, why not say it, with the one that has the best quality and price.<\/p>\n It is good to have your hands constantly moistened<\/strong> while kneading, as well as the surface on which we lean, but not too much to avoid sticking.<\/p>\n Also, while we are working with this material, remember that it is like a plasticine that dries out, so it is a good idea to have some kind of wet material at hand such as a sponge or a cloth<\/strong> to avoid small cracks in the surface if it dries out too much on the outside.<\/p>\n This problem with drying means that, unlike other traditional clays, we cannot recycle leftovers in the same way. With air-drying clay, if we have leftovers, for example, when using a casting technique, it will be difficult to reuse the extracted material. <\/p>\n A trick<\/strong> to be able to reuse<\/strong> these pieces is to leave them submerged in water and then use them to glue some cracks that we have left as they will be very useful and will adhere well. This has to be done while we are on time because if the piece dries too much it will not work.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n If we use a technique that requires the use of irons must be very careful not to dry too much, if we use the technique of churros once we have made them must be covered with plastic wrap until we return to manipulate the less time spent in the air the better.<\/p>\n If we are not going to use all the material contained in a package do not forget to close it<\/strong> and store it<\/strong> well<\/strong>, in its container or wrapped with plastic, airtight, even if we can put a cloth with a little moisture better.<\/p>\n Beware of the cold,<\/strong> if we are going to store the clay in the garage of our house in the mountains, and temperatures drop below zero, most manufacturers advise to prevent the air dry clay from freezing<\/strong> as it will lose its characteristics. So always at home, unless we live in an igloo. <\/p>\n As for what tools<\/strong> to use with the modeling clay, we can use any tool that we would use with a traditional clay. Of course, it is advisable to have a cutting tool or thread to separate the blocks we are going to work with if we have bought a large size. <\/p>\n Once the pieces are dry, they can be carved, polished, incised, drilled, etc.<\/p>\n Most of the techniques used in ceramics can be used on it Almost any technique is valid for this modeling clay.<\/strong> Some types can be worked on a potter’s wheel, but not all. <\/p>\n It is a type of moldable clay<\/a>:<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n Another option we have is to use molds<\/strong> with it.<\/p>\n There are countless ideas to create pieces by themselves or by joining several results we have made with our clay, as a “construction”.<\/p>\n You can start from scratch by creating your own molds or use the infinite designs that are already commercialized. It is preferable to use a plaster one<\/strong>. But if you don’t have one, you can use plastic or other material without any problem. <\/p>\n Although it is also very suitable as a molding clay, depending on the brand, it can give a better or worse finish on the edges, we have seen that, for example, the Jovi requires going over them perhaps a little more, although it is a brand that provides good definition.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider show_divider=”off” module_id=”trabajarpiezassecas” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” background_enable_color=”off” custom_padding=”80px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”a2f533e2-9ee7-4615-bd4f-9d4f36476524″ header_2_font_size=”25px” header_5_font=”Oswald||||||||” header_5_font_size=”45px” custom_margin=”0px||0px||false|false” custom_margin_tablet=”80px||||false|false” custom_margin_phone=”80px||||false|false” header_2_font_size_tablet=”20px” header_2_font_size_phone=”20px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” header_3_font_size_tablet=”28px” header_5_font_size_tablet=”40px” header_5_font_size_phone=”30px” header_5_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Once properly dried, the pieces will be hard enough to use the same techniques that we would use in traditional ceramics: carving, drilling, making incisions, etc.<\/p>\n The most frequent treatment that we will have to use will be polishing, especially in the case that what we have done is to use molds, once out of them we will probably have to polish<\/strong> or file the edges, for example in the case of figurines.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider show_divider=”off” module_id=”pintarpasta” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” background_enable_color=”off” custom_padding=”80px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”a2f533e2-9ee7-4615-bd4f-9d4f36476524″ header_2_font_size=”25px” header_5_font=”Oswald||||||||” header_5_font_size=”45px” custom_margin=”0px||||false|false” header_2_font_size_tablet=”20px” header_2_font_size_phone=”20px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” header_3_font_size_tablet=”28px” header_5_font_size_tablet=”40px” header_5_font_size_phone=”30px” header_5_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n Tip<\/strong>: make sure it is absolutely dry beforehand, if we are not in a hurry, we can leave it longer than recommended by the manufacturer.<\/p>\n Even if the piece has been in the air for several days, it may happen that our work is dry and hard on the outside but still contains moisture on the inside<\/strong>, so do not trust it.<\/p>\n The problem of painting before it has dried completely is that it will not transpire the same way and the water that is left inside will not evaporate due to the layer of paint that we have put, what will happen is that our work will have a sticky consistency for a long time apart from the fact that it can spoil the paint job done.<\/p>\n You can use many, many types of paint.

If you are going to work with some continuity with this material and you want it to be cheaper, you have to go to large sizes, such as 10 kg, which are cheaper, but the range of colors is more limited. <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/arteologic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Munecos-en-arcilla-de-secado-al-aire.webp” alt=”Dolls in air-drying clay” title_text=”Air-drying-clay-dolls” show_bottom_space=”off” align=”center” module_class=”zoooom” _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” width=”70%” width_tablet=”100%” width_phone=”100%” width_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”4b624526-6a36-44b6-909b-7368149afdfd” text_font=”|300|||||||” text_font_size=”16px” text_line_height=”1.2em” custom_margin=”10px||10px||false|false” custom_padding=”||6px||false|false” text_font_size_tablet=”15px” text_font_size_phone=”14px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n These beautiful OOAK dolls are made with painted air-drying paste and a combination of other materials.<\/em> [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”45941f4e-a49b-46c5-963f-947518df306d” text_font=”Oswald|300|||||||” text_text_color=”#000000″ text_font_size=”17px” background_enable_color=”off” use_background_color_gradient=”on” background_color_gradient_stops=”rgba(236,129,24,0.23) 0%|rgba(236,129,24,0.91) 79%” text_orientation=”center” max_width=”12%” max_width_tablet=”30%” max_width_phone=”50%” max_width_last_edited=”on|desktop” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”||29px||false|false” custom_padding=”8px|5px|8px|5px|false|false” scroll_scaling_enable=”on” scroll_scaling=”0|50|50|100|100%|102%|100″ border_radii=”on|5px|5px|5px|5px” border_color_all=”#FFFFFF” box_shadow_style=”preset3″ box_shadow_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0.17)” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}” transform_styles__hover_enabled=”on|hover” transform_scale__hover_enabled=”on|hover” transform_translate__hover_enabled=”on|desktop” transform_rotate__hover_enabled=”on|desktop” transform_skew__hover_enabled=”on|desktop” transform_origin__hover_enabled=”on|desktop” transform_scale__hover=”103%|103%”]<\/p>\n VIEW SHOP<\/a><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider show_divider=”off” module_id=”tipospastas” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” background_enable_color=”off” custom_padding=”50px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”a2f533e2-9ee7-4615-bd4f-9d4f36476524″ custom_margin=”0px||50px||false|false” custom_padding=”25px||20px||false|false” header_3_font_size_tablet=”28px” header_5_font_size_tablet=”18px” header_5_font_size_phone=”18px” border_radii=”on|5px|5px|5px|5px” box_shadow_style=”preset2″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”a2f533e2-9ee7-4615-bd4f-9d4f36476524″ custom_margin_tablet=”” custom_margin_phone=”” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|desktop” header_3_font_size_tablet=”28px” header_5_font_size_tablet=”18px” header_5_font_size_phone=”18px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n The reality is that under this label we can see on the Internet an infinity of different<\/strong> materials.

What happens is that the paper fibers intertwine with each other favoring these unions, these fibers also help the piece to shrink less during drying. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider show_divider=”off” module_id=”consejos” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” background_enable_color=”off” custom_padding=”50px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”a2f533e2-9ee7-4615-bd4f-9d4f36476524″ custom_margin=”0px||50px||false|false” custom_padding=”25px||20px||false|false” header_3_font_size_tablet=”28px” header_5_font_size_tablet=”18px” header_5_font_size_phone=”18px” border_radii=”on|5px|5px|5px|5px” box_shadow_style=”preset2″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”a2f533e2-9ee7-4615-bd4f-9d4f36476524″ custom_margin_tablet=”50px||||false|false” custom_margin_phone=”50px||||false|false” header_3_font_size_tablet=”28px” header_4_font_size_tablet=”17px” header_4_font_size_phone=”16px” header_5_font_size_tablet=”18px” header_5_font_size_phone=”18px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Now let’s see what’s on the market.

I started creating my Youtube channel in order to share my ideas and knowledge with all those who feel identified with the DIY philosophy and in January 2020 I decided to take the step and create my brand in a professional way. <\/em><\/p>\n Currently I combine the sale of my own articles with the publication of free tutorials on Youtube. My work is mainly divided into two sections: on the one hand the creation of items for celebrations (pi\u00f1atas, fofuchas, fake cakes, etc) and, on the other hand, decorative items of all kinds. It is in the latter where air dry modeling clay plays an important role. For me it is an essential material that gives us a lot of play when creating, since we can make from figures for the nativity scene to mosaics, one of my favorite techniques. <\/em><\/p>\n A continuaci\u00f3n, paso a detallar de manera breve mi opini\u00f3n sobre los distintos tipos de pasta de secado al aire que he usado y cu\u00e1l ha sido mi experiencia con cada una de ellas.<\/em><\/p>\n <\/em><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”a2f533e2-9ee7-4615-bd4f-9d4f36476524″ text_font=”|300|on||||||” header_4_font_size=”22px” header_5_font=”Oswald||||||||” header_5_font_size=”35px” header_6_font=”Merriweather Sans|600|||||||” width=”95%” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”0px||||false|false” header_3_font_size_tablet=”28px” header_4_font_size_tablet=”20px” header_4_font_size_phone=”20px” header_4_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” header_5_font_size_tablet=”31px” header_5_font_size_phone=”27px” header_5_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n It is the one I use in most of my projects because I get very good finishes and it has a good quality-price ratio. Although at first it may seem difficult to mold, the key is in the previous kneading. It is a clay that comes with a lot of moisture, so this step is very important to homogenize it and work comfortably and that no cracks appear after drying. <\/p>\n It is available in white and terracotta. My favorite is undoubtedly white, as it stains less and also, if we want to paint it once dry, this clear base allows us to keep the colors unchanged. <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”a2f533e2-9ee7-4615-bd4f-9d4f36476524″ text_font=”|300|on||||||” header_4_font_size=”22px” header_5_font=”Oswald||||||||” header_5_font_size=”35px” header_6_font=”Merriweather Sans|600|||||||” width=”95%” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”0px||||false|false” header_4_font_size_tablet=”20px” header_4_font_size_phone=”20px” header_4_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” header_5_font_size_tablet=”31px” header_5_font_size_phone=”27px” header_5_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n I haven’t had the chance to use it too much because I don’t get it so easily in my area, but I also like its texture to work with.

It does not weigh anything, and that is a great advantage, especially when making large works. <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”a2f533e2-9ee7-4615-bd4f-9d4f36476524″ text_font=”|300|on||||||” header_4_font_size=”22px” header_5_font=”Oswald||||||||” header_5_font_size=”35px” header_6_font=”Merriweather Sans|600|||||||” width=”95%” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”0px||||false|false” header_4_font_size_tablet=”20px” header_4_font_size_phone=”20px” header_4_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” header_5_font_size_tablet=”31px” header_5_font_size_phone=”27px” header_5_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n This clay is the perfect substitute for decorative ceramic objects. Its appearance is like clay, but with the advantage that we do not need a kiln to harden it. Although it cannot be used to create tableware, we can model any decorative object with that handmade finish that ceramic has. <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”a2f533e2-9ee7-4615-bd4f-9d4f36476524″ text_font=”|300|on||||||” header_4_font_size=”22px” header_5_font=”Oswald||||||||” header_5_font_size=”35px” header_6_font=”Merriweather Sans|600|||||||” width=”95%” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”0px||||false|false” header_4_font_size_tablet=”20px” header_4_font_size_phone=”20px” header_4_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” header_5_font_size_tablet=”31px” header_5_font_size_phone=”27px” header_5_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n As a third option I have chosen a completely homemade modeling clay, since we can all create it at home and also reuse any type of paper. It is very economical and easy to make. I have several tutorials about it, but the most complete is the one in which I experiment with many different papers and we see the differences between them (see video)<\/a>. It will help us to create objects from scratch, such as bowls, vases, figures…. Also to decorate with reliefs any surfaces, or even to reinforce many of our works.” <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”c0b3d33f-4523-444b-ab8b-fb9b2ccd3ee6″ text_font=”|300|on||||||” header_5_font=”Oswald||||||||” header_5_font_size=”35px” header_6_font=”Merriweather Sans|600|||||||” width=”95%” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”0px||||false|false” header_3_font_size_tablet=”28px” header_5_font_size_tablet=”31px” header_5_font_size_phone=”27px” header_5_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]* We encourage you to get to know her work on the website El taller de Ire<\/a> or on her Youtube<\/a> channel.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” width_tablet=”auto” width_phone=”85%” width_last_edited=”on|phone” max_width=”2560px” custom_margin=”0px||||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_divider show_divider=”off” module_id=”mejorpasta” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” background_enable_color=”off” custom_padding=”50px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”a2f533e2-9ee7-4615-bd4f-9d4f36476524″ text_font=”Oswald||||||||” text_font_size=”35px” header_3_font_size=”35px” custom_margin=”0px||50px||false|false” custom_padding=”25px|5px|20px|5px|false|false” animation_style=”zoom” text_font_size_tablet=”30px” text_font_size_phone=”25px” header_2_font_size_tablet=”” header_2_font_size_phone=”” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” header_3_font_size_tablet=”30px” header_3_font_size_phone=”28px” header_3_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” header_5_font_size_tablet=”18px” header_5_font_size_phone=”18px” border_radii=”on|5px|5px|5px|5px” box_shadow_style=”preset2″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n And now…<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”a2f533e2-9ee7-4615-bd4f-9d4f36476524″ custom_margin_tablet=”50px||||false|false” custom_margin_phone=”50px||||false|false” header_3_font_size_tablet=”28px” header_5_font_size_tablet=”18px” header_5_font_size_phone=”18px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n All have pros and cons, depending on their intended use.<\/p>\n Ok<\/strong>, but if we want to know which one to choose<\/strong> without getting into a lot of analysis.
