How to use the silk clay: The clay is air drying which means you will have to seal the tub once opened with extra air tight materials (plastic bag or cling film before adding the lid for example). We suggest you add a drop of water (literally) into the tub to keep it moist. If the clay has become dry you can add water to make it supple again. The clay reacts a little like dough. If you make it too wet you have to keep kneading it until the excess water has been absorbed or evaporated. It may be a messy affair but just keep at it and the clay will become one mass again. Shape the clay as you would with normal clay, make your fingers wet to smooth out the surface. Leave to dry in the air (you can put it near a radiator to speed up the drying process). The clay remains a little 'bouncy' but it will not change its shape once fully dried. You can colour in the clay before modelling by adding dyes or even just use a sharpie or paint it once dry. Allow for a little shrinkage.

As always fab wool! Ready for my next project! 😁
A lovely quality wool and such a rich colour
I live in the USA and even though international postage costs can be high, I still prefer to buy from the Makerrs. All of their products are high quality and I like that they focus on being eco-friendly. The support and encouragement I've found with having a Flock membership is invaluable. The Flock Gatherings are a lot of fun. I am inspired and learn new things every month! Highly recommended! Steffi and her team are wonderful.
Love these eyes. Very easy to put in with a little glue. Make my sculptures look more realistic.
