Multicultural Art for Kids Return to Mixed Media Supplies. Shipping note: Because clay is heavier than most of our products, your shipping charge will be the exact cost to deliver your package. We do not charge any handling fee...only the cost for postage stamps or UPS ground. Shipping is generally $8.95 for a flat rate Priority Mail box in the USA, but may be more depending on what you have ordered and where you live. If you wish us to let you know the exact shipping charge in advance, please request this in the comment box on the order form when you complete your online order. |
 DAS Terracotta Clay We fell in love with this unique clay after our first project. It looks like a traditional terracotta "flowerpot" clay, with a rich earth red-brown color, but does not require kiln firing to finish pieces. Instead, this remarkable clay dries in the air to a sturdy hardness. |

You can decorate finished pieces with acrylic or tempera paint, seal them with a final coat of shiny acrylic varnish if you wish, or leave them with a natural matte surface. The clay comes in a 1 kilo (2.2 pound) airtight package, and the clay will stay soft and pliable for months after opening, so long as you roll the package top to seal it tightly. Wet the clay with fingers dipped in water while you work it...leave it out in the air to harden (small figures like the Mexican pottery animals above, from the free Latin American Clay Creatures Lesson below, harden overnight). This is a wonderful clay for multi-cultural activities and folk art projects.
