Nope! Everything you need is in the box — clay, tools, sponge, and a step-by-step guide (aka The Clay Playbook). Just grab a bowl of water, a towel, and clear a little space to get messy.

Absolutely. Until your piece is fully dry, you can keep squishing, reshaping, and starting over as many times as you like. Mistakes = part of the magic.

Usually around 24–72 hours, depending on thickness and weather. Let your masterpiece dry slowly and completely before painting or sealing.

This clay is air-dry, so you don’t need a kiln (yay!). But if you do want to fire it, have a chat with your local pottery studio first — not all air-dry clays are kiln-safe.

If something’s not quite right with your kit, or you’ve got questions, feedback, or just want to say hey — we’re here for you!
