Whether you like to create beautiful jewelry or craft tasteful household items, polymer clay offers you the freedom and versatility you want to explore limitless creative possibilities.

If you're looking for a stunning, sophisticated clay with a smooth finish like porcelain, choose Sculpey Air-Dry™ Porcelain Clay. This clay offers all the thrills of regular modeling clay with an intricate, elegant finish as delicate as real porcelain.

Why Choose Air-Dry Porcelain Clay?

Air-dry clay is perfect for jewelry, ornaments, toys, sculptures and school projects. It's a lightweight, durable medium that is also extremely malleable and easy to shape. These benefits make this clay a popular choice for big and small projects, including beaded necklaces, earrings, decorative jars and candleholders. Sculpey Air-Dry™ Porcelain Clay offers polymer clayers the opportunity to hone their skills while enjoying the flexibility of air-dry porcelain clay.

This porcelain clay is the ideal choice for all your polymer clay creations due to the following:

  • Can be carved, drilled, sanded and painted with acrylic-based paints
  • Perfect for making authentic-looking jewelry, flowers and detailed figurines
  • Has a translucent, smooth, porcelain-like finish

Sculpey Air-Dry™ Porcelain Clay vs. Sculpey Air-Dry™

Choosing the right clay for your project is crucial for achieving the best results possible. If you've decided you want to use air-dry clay for your next modeling or sculpting craft, you'll need to choose between our Sculpey Air-Dry™ Porcelain Clay and standard Sculpey Air-Dry™.

The primary differences between the two air-dry clays are their consistencies. The porcelain clay is smooth and translucent and is used for things like flowers, dolls, and higher-end projects whereas other air dry clay is used for basic modeling. Traditional air-dry clay has a fibrous, porous texture that's slightly rougher when dried. Porcelain air-dry clay has a smooth, porcelain-like finish when it dries, which is how it got its name.

Air-dry porcelain clay produces a harder, stronger and more durable model when dried, which can be ideal for a number of projects. If you don't add color to the clay, the final product dries slightly translucent, with a look that is very similar to genuine porcelain. Our Sculpey Air-Dry™ clay dries to an opaque color of either white, terra cotta or whatever colors you've added.
