Daler-Rowney DAS Modelling Clay is an air-drying clay that you can use for just about any craft purpose. The air-tight plastic bag ensures that the non-toxic clay retains all of its moisture, right until you open it up. You'll be able to shape and mould it to start creating your unique designs. The perfect medium for fixings, ceramics and sculpture, the clay takes at least four to five days to dry out, depending on the size of your finished work. Air-dry clays are all water-based as this is what gives them their malleability, so to make it waterproof, you would require a sealant. Popular sealants for clay would be acrylic paint, epoxy resin or clear varnishes designed specifically for clay. When purchasing a sealant, always make sure it's suitable for use on clay.

It dries very well and has a lovely finish. My daughter and I paint the items she's made with normal poster paints, it absorbs well, then coat with a pva mixture to gloss it over.
