This is a unique proprietary ceramic product that we have developed and refined over decades, resulting in a white-fired ceramic body. It is made from a distinctive blend of premium domestic and imported clays, creating a unique material offered exclusively by Tierra de Barro.
To achieve its white color, the clay must be fired to 1050 °C. If left to air dry for several days, it will retain a gray color.
This clay has excellent plasticity, making it ideal for creating highly detailed pieces with a recommended maximum size of approximately 30 cm. It develops relatively low hardness when air-dried, so firing is required to achieve maximum strength and durability.
This material can be used to create kitchenware such as cups, plates, spoons, and similar items. However, it is not suitable for cookware exposed to direct flame, such as casseroles, cooking pots, and similar vessels.
The clay comes hand-kneaded, ready to model, and of exceptional quality. It is supplied in a very soft condition to maximize workability and plasticity. If a firmer consistency is desired, simply allow it to dry for a period of time until the desired hardness is achieved. If a softer consistency is required, add water.
We recommend using approximately 500 grams of clay per person to create a small piece.
Because the clay is supplied already kneaded, maintaining its moisture content is important. Once the package has been opened, it is recommended to add a small amount of water before resealing the bag. When rehydrated, the clay returns to its original workable state.
This material is ideal for modeling and is widely used in a variety of applications. Our customers use it for projects ranging from sculptures to crafts in classes, workshops, and even rehabilitation activities.
Once air-dried, pieces can be decorated with paints such as watercolors, expanding their creative possibilities.
Our products are non-toxic. When rehydrated, the clay becomes workable again. It can be used with wheel-throwing, pressing, and hand-building techniques.
The final color may vary between the raw clay and the fired piece and may differ from the images shown. It is important to allow the piece to dry completely before firing. A drying period of 24 to 72 hours is recommended.
This is not a polymer clay or an air-dry clay that permanently hardens without firing. To achieve permanent hardness and durability, the piece must be fired. Until it is fired, the clay remains reusable.
