Hope you all have a fun Halloween too!

Non toxic clay

Good morning!

I have a somewhat oddball question.

Im looking for clay I can make targets out of for plinking. What I’m looking for needs to be non toxic/biodegrable - something I can just leave out in the field. I also need something that is air dry as I don’t have access to a kiln and it needs to harden - the more brittle the better.

Cheaper the better obviously since it’s going to be destroyed but price takes a backseat to being environmentally friendly.

It will be for training gun safety and I’m trying to make it more fun.

Suggestions welcome!

Feedback on my first ASMR video. The sounds were created using the ceramic net I sculpted.

Keeping air dry clay from air drying during project

So I'm quite new to clay and I understand how air dry clay works, but how would I go about keeping an in-progress project from drying out?

I know how to keep my unused and open clay from drying, but the stuff I'm working on can't exactly be wrapped.

I don't have a lot of time to sit and work on something, so I break it up over the course of days.

Would getting a large air tight container work?

Question about Silver Clay

Hi guys!

I want to start making my own rings. After learning about what silver clay is, I wanted to ask if torching is an effective way to make them. I don’t have a kiln and can’t really afford one nor have the space.

I just want any tips or advice when starting this process. Thanks y’all :)

Can you airbrush cold porcelain with acrylic lacquer?

Has anyone attempted this before? Any opinions appreciated. I accidentally bought a pearly acrylic lacquer and it is for an airbrusher - this made me wonder if it is possible to spray cold porcelain. Could be a really nice technique if it takes to the clay.
