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.

from 1103 reviewsLooking forward to starting this kit.i have not done picture felt before. The quality looks great . I also have the robin and I will be in no doubt about purchasing the Kingfisher. Also great that it's liked to RSPB. Thankyou Makerss
Dear Makerrs I have not started this kit yet but I am looking forward to trying something different. I have enjoyed all previous kits that I have purchased from you. As always the instructions are clear. Thank you
I purchased this box as a one off as I watched Steffi on a Facebook live unboxing event and fell in love with Donkey and just had to buy him. The items in the box included felting mat, tools and lots of exciting colours of wool, I think it's fantastic, I just can't wait to start making him
This kit will be wonderful to create with all of the bright colors and no fixed pattern. Because I bought 2 of them I will be doing a "stabbing" party with a friend as we make them together.
Haven't used it yet, but it feels soft, and I like how it's biodegradable as well. Can't wait to try it.
Looks like a fun kit to make two beautiful cats.
So pleased I've managed to find these, really useful and saves stabbing of fingers whilst edging felts.
Lovely colour, love the fact that I can store my needles securely, well made, sturdy material
Nice size needle
Nice size, excellent quality
Both wool balls are excellent quality & nice size
Lovely & soft, well made & biodegradable
So excited. Just can’t wait to get the next one !
Looking at the kit I am very impressed with the quality. I am not going to be making it yet so can't comment on how it goes together, but looking forward to starting it later in the year.
Love quality. Easy to use. Value for money.
Love this! Perfect for fingers, birds legs and beaks. Dries rubbery.
Used for unicorn horn. Very pliable and a good clean white colour.
This clay is good for adding realistic looking claws to the wire bird feet. It's light and easy to shape and air dries without the need for additional heating.
This clay can be molded onto wire in any shape you like. It airdry to a flexible lifelike rubber. It's easy to make hands feet noses etc. Buy it you won't be disappointed
Great for making accessories for the wee mice. Can mix colours to get marbled effect, use colours as they are anything.
