Interesting but you didn't cover how to keep white clay moist while working with it, how to clean the tools especially if you only have one set but have tried oil based clay. Disposing of used clay etc. This is a could be better episode!
@TetukraBOA7 жыл бұрын
Katherine Hannaford keeping the white clay wet while working is easy. just have a spray bottle with water handy and spray it in between when it starts to dry out. when you have to leave it you spray it liberally with water and cover the project in a plastic bag. cleaning the tools use a regular scotch bright to clean them and as for getting rid of used clay. you don't. Throw it in water and leave it to soak it up. it will become malleable again or you can use it to make slip which is one part clay one part water mixed into a paste which allows you to put separate pieces like an ear or a nose onto a larger piece so that it stays in place and essentially becomes one piece. I learned This at school hope that helps
@TetukraBOA7 жыл бұрын
Katherine Hannaford PS under no circumstances do you want to breathe in the residue its bad for your lungs so once your hands get too white wash them off and start again or spray your hands with water. thats also a good indicator your clay is drying out
@ShadowoftheDude5 ай бұрын
I don't think WED clay has oil in it, cause that would make it an oil-based clay, not a water-based clay, and it wouldn't air dry; not to mention oil and water don't mix. Online listings says it has added glycerine, which is a humectant that makes it dry slower.

Diresta's Tips videos are all about his preferred methods as well, but they are about 10 times as long, so they do feel more in depth. I think working with water-based clay is probably far more intuitive than some of the tricks Diresta comes up with though, it was probably hard for them to pad it out much longer!

You'll probably want it to dry a bit more. Allow the pieces to get closer to a "leather-hard" consistency, then try to build with it once its more sturdy. Dry enough to be sturdy but not too dry that you can't carve or manipulate it .

Those are mold spots. Some sculptors add a splash of bleach to water to spray it with (or dunk), some cut it off, some throw it out and get new clay. I believe it's actually glycerin, not oil. The Laguna website has an SDS sheet with more information.

You might be getting cracks because of what the clay is made out of, if you have to money to invest into buying premade clay, that will probably help you prevent cracking. Otherwise, I would research more into what "professional" clays are made of and try to incorporate those into your own clay. I hope this helps

You guys have to get to the point and teach me something useful. Its a shop tips video, not an intro to clay. I don't care how the clay is shipped and how much it ships in, I'll figure that out on my own. The only useful thing I can take from this video is that which clay to use for what, and I guess how to flatten it or make dimples. I mean this isn't helping me much, I want this series to be good, but go watch some Jimmy Diresta shop tips, the man does them a lot better.
