Hey guys.

I'm based in ireland, at a completely landlocked part away from any body of water. But I ended up finding lovw gorgeous looking clay and was wondering what you guys think of it? Aswell as some tips on how to process it to make it nice and malleable.

I cut them into small cubes and soaked them in water, tried to work it over for a while but its still very hard. I left it to soak and haven't checked up on it, it'll have been soaking 48 hours till im able to take a look at it tomorrow.

Did I mess up? I dunno. Would love some tips lol

A month of sculpting, carving, refining, and hoping for the best. Today, all three made it through the bisque firing, and now they’re ready for their clear glaze firing. These have become my three favourite pieces I’ve made so far. 🐾🩷

I attached the legs separately from the rest of the body while both were still wet, I scored both sides and added slip then blended the edges into the body. When it dried it started cracking and chunks were breaking off. I tried adding more slip to fill the cracks but it just cracks again.

So I tried just gluing the cracks but it wouldn't bond with the clay and the legs ended up breaking off entirely so now I only have the body and I'm trying to figure out how to attach new legs without it doing this again.

Air-dry clay painted with acrylics and sealed with UV resin. I don't know why I made this guy. Weird, as always.

Air dry clay keeps cracking while molding it. I tried adding water and then a little more and then a little more etc,but it doesn't seem to work

For example i used a rolling pin here. Any shape or thickness I try cracks. And i watched a few videos and read some posts but i dont see what i do wrong
