Ceramic clay allows for prolonged work, one can start the sculpture and continue after a day or several days. To continue working on it later, cover it with a wet cloth and cover it with opaque plastic.

After finishing the work on the sculpture it should be allowed to dry for about a week. Because dry ceramic clay is fragile and has low strength, in order to preserve a ceramic clay sculpture, it is necessary to prepare the sculpture for burning in a special ceramic oven (it can be burned at our studio in Givatayim or at a ceramicist in your area). Another option is to cover the sculpture with a layer of plastic glue (included in the kit).

After burning or covering with glue, you can move on to painting. A clay sculpture kit for children includes a set of gouache paints suitable for painting the sculpture. You can also paint with acrylic paints or spray paint.
