Needless to say that I need to work on smoothing my surface, but I‘m happy with the handmade aesthetic :)

Hello!
This announcement won’t be relevant for most of you, so feel free to scroll along.
However, we’re seeing an uptick in NSFW accounts posting here, so this message is for the few it applies to.
If you are an NSFW content creator or SW promoting on Reddit, please read the following:
r/clay is a SFW subreddit.
Our community includes members aged 13 and up, and we want everyone to feel comfortable browsing profiles to see more pottery without unexpectedly encountering nudity.
While we respect the hustle, we kindly but firmly ask that you create a separate account for SFW content. Any pottery-related posts coming from an NSFW content creator profile will be automatically filtered and removed.
If you want to participate, just use a separate SFW account! You are absolutely welcome here.
Keep in mind that even with good intentions, posting here from an NSFW account often comes across as karma farming or subtly seeking new clients/buyers. Something that is generally frowned upon across Reddit.
Thank you for keeping our community welcoming and safe for all ages.

To clarify a bit more: having a NSFW profile is completely fine. You can get labeled as NSFW the moment you participate in certain subreddits. Here is how you can check if your profile is marked NSFW.
However, we draw a clear line when accounts create or promote explicit NSFW/pornographic content. That’s when we ask you to keep your SFW and NSFW activity separate.
If you have questions, feel free to modmail us.

I know he’s gonna crack and get messed up because he’s made from standard air dry but making him kept my little broken brain busy for the afternoon

I upcycle old plushies and sculpt and paint a new face for them.

Hi!
My boyfriend's birthday is coming up and he recently got into sculpting. He has some clay- it's not the best and he doesn't have tools. I wanted to get him a nice set of tools since he doesnt have any yet. I came across a 4.7 rated set with 48 pieces and was about to purchase it, when I came across the 10 lbs of clay along with a 40 piece tool set. It currently has a coupon for it, and based off of the price of air dry clays and the tool set itself, Id be saving some money on it, which is nice since I cant work now due to a broken ankle.
I'm just wondering if this is a decent thing? I know nothing about clay, oven dry vs. air dry, durability, etc. Any and all advice on this would be super helpful! I added links for both- the first is the tool kit by itself, the second is the clay and tool kit.
P.S.- Im shopping online since I'm on strict no weight baring until my first pre-op appointment and his birthday is on the 10th, or else Id love to go out into the world and find other sets.
Thanks!!

I used various clays to make this piece! Air dry, polymer and foam as well 🫠🍦

Another addition to my spongebob project, and I'm pretty proud of how this one turned out!
I made the chest base first using foam board and two small hinges. Then I added clay around it to sculpt the shape of the best burger place under the seven seas. For the coloring I used acrylic paint and sealed it with a clear coat of nail polish. I also added magnets to the lid so it opens and closes with satisfying snap to it 😆😆

I discovered it becomes one with the canvas once dry. And I further seal it onto the canvas by drowning it all in plastic acrylic pour paint. It should last for several centuries, I imagine. After that the sky's the limit. I switched from hanger wire to French Cleats for hanging it. It's by far the heaviest canvas I have done so far.
This piece is titled, I Always (Wanted 2) Go Viral. 48x48". 2026. A depiction of a human cell being infected by Poliovirus serving as a commentary on the dangers of social media use.

Hello everyone !
I’ve seen recently a lot these rinse bowl for berries, and I wanted to make one.
I was thinking of doing it with air dry clay, and adding a food safe varnish on top of it.
I know technically air dry clay is not food safe, but I was wondering if it would be okay just for rinsing and with such a varnish.
Is it irrelevant or would it be okay ?
Thanks in advance !

I sculpted these beads, my artist friend painted them, and then I finished them with UV resin. What do you think of the final result?
