Here we LOVE self-hardening clay. It is the ideal material to be able to practice pottery at home. With this type of clay, you do not need a kiln, a ceramic furnace that heats to over 1000 degrees and that is only found in pottery studios, because it dries in the open air. .
At Club Terracotta, we tested several self-hardening clays before finding one that we really liked, and several did not pass the test. The clay provided in our DIY home pottery kits had to be natural with a feel reminiscent of firing clay. Above all, it shouldn't have a chemical smell (like some we tested) and it should have a nice terracotta color, which turns a nice pale brown as it dries. In short, a quality clay!
Although this type of clay does not allow us to make objects in which we can drink or eat, a bunch of projects remain possible.
Here are 10 projects to make with self hardening clay :
1. Face jewelry plate
2. Boho wall decor
3. Cactus ring holder
4. Greek vase
5. Matching trinket plate and pot
6. Textured vases for dried flowers
7. cactus pot
8. Cat bowl
9. Boobie pots
10. Coil vase
