For all your sculpted creations, Darwi air drying clay is certainly the most effective clay on the market. The fine grain allows you a pleasant modelling and a flawless result.

No baking is necessary for our Darwi clay. Indeed, they dry in the air under 24 hours per centimeter of thickness. During drying, the clay does not shrink. This means, you can totally rely on it. Once dry, the realization can be corrected using a scalpel or simply sanding.

• Darwi Classic, the essential for your sculptures

• Darwi Terracotta, all the quality of the Classic in a Terracotta colour

• Darwi Roc, extra-resistant

• Darwi Kids, our most versatile clay

• Darwi Extra-Light, particularly light

All clays are white except the Darwi terracotta, as the name shows.

All your sculptures can be made of Darwi self-hardening clay, from the most fragile in Darwi Roc to the lightest in Extra-Light!

How to use the Darwi clays ?

Before starting your work, knead the self-hardening clay, add a bit water inside if the clay is not flexible enough and knead it thoroughly,  it is ready to be worked if no cracks are formed.

Take small pieces of clay and add as you go along. Work quickly. If your work is a long-term job, you may notice that some parts are starting to dry. If this is the case, slightly moisten the clay. If you want to add one element to another already dry, moisten the surface before placing the second part or use our Darwi super strong acrylic adhesive to weld two dry elements.

If you work the clay on a porous material, first coat it with water to prevent the water in the Darwi clay from immediately disintegrating in the substrate and drying. This could cause cracks
When you have finished your sculpture, let it dry and rest on paper towels. If you do not have paper towels, be sure to return the creation so that the base can dry too.

If you try to speed up the drying time, cracks may appear. It is necessary to count 24h at room temperature by 1 cm of thickness so that the sculpture is completely dry. This time is indicative because it can vary depending on the humidity of the room and air!
To finalize the sculpture, use our Darwi acrylic paints and varnishes .
