subject: Picking the Right Modeling Clay [print this page] Firing Clay This type of clay for modeling, which is pottery clay in other words, has many uses. The user has to make use of his or her hands most of the times, plus the potter's wheel. It is available in a few glazes too, including the specialty, matte and glossy. The clays are all for creating elegant finishes. A detail you should know before buying is that this clay has three divisions. You can buy clay requiring low, medium or strong firing. When you make the sculpture designs, the next thing is air-drying them. Then, kiln-dry the modeling clay designs. An example of the firing clay is usually the terra cotta, white clay and rust color style. Note that you have extra colors of clays to select as well.
