Review
Didn’t believe the tutor when she said you could put full dried clay in pot and it would turn back to paste, I’m so glad I bought one
Fabulous storage solution for metal clay!
Use this very smart looking Art Clay pot to store your metal clay whilst working, and between sessions. Place your clay at the bottom of the clay keeper and place the vented insert on top. Place a damp sponge (included) or kitchen tissue on the insert, and put the lid on. Done. Your clay will stay fresh and workable for ages - just keep checking to make sure your sponge/tissue stays wet. Make sure that the sponge is damp, but not so wet that it drips on the clay. Also ensure that the clay doesn't touch the vented insert, or it might get a little too wet and mushy.
As the clay is being kept in a moist environment stored like this, it will absorb moisture from the air (only as much as it needs!), keeping it a lovely consistency.
For extremely hard clay that needs reconditioning:
If your clay has become very hard and dry and needs reconditioning you can use both sponges in the container to help you get as much moisture back into the clay as possible. Place one damp sponge at the bottom of the pot, then place a small sheet of teflon or plastic coated paper on top of this sponge. Then chop the clay up into very small pieces ans place it on top of the teflon. Then do as above and place the vented insert on top with the other damp sponge on top. Place the lid on and do up tightly.
Please note: The product comes with two small sponges
NOTE: Not for use with copper or bronze clay, you will get an oxidised film on this type of clay.
A must have
This is an essential piece of kit

clay hydrating pot
works really well
Got to have
I had this product on my wish list for a while. I wish i had purchased it sooner!! It really does keep your clay at a perfect workable consistency until you are ready to use again. No more wrapping in cling film with packets all over the place!
Art-clay moisturising storage pot
Really useful pot for keeping unused clay from drying out and at a good consistency for days/weeks. Nothing else does the job so well.
Brilliant
Great price, quick delivery, great product. Does exactly what is is meant for.

This storage box keeps clay in perfect condition and even revitalised clay I thought was beyond help. Definitely worth the price.
Great
Very useful for keeping clay hydrated.
A Must have!
A fantastic little pot, a briiliant addition to any metalclay artist. Keeps clay moist and ready to use without the need for cling film. Highly recommended!
Everyone should have one!
Very impressed with this handy pot, keeps your clay lovely and fresh and in perfect condition.
You NEED this!
Have managed to save all my dried out clay - and some money!
A definite must have!
For silver art clay this pot is brilliant. It keeps the clay really well conditioned (even if you just pop the clay into the pot without any clingfilm). I find the sponge stays moist for at least a few weeks as well. You just have to remember to spritz the sponge if you leave the clay in the pot for longer than 2 or 3 weeks. Highly recommended product.
You need one of these!
Excellent product!! Keeps my opened silver clay in A1 condition. Well worth the money, I'll be buying more for use in my workshops on my next order!! :)
