it's all thanks to my own personal experience, watching other tutorials, and reading articles! thank you so much for subscribing! 💚💚 welcome to the channel 😊

[@maryelizabeth21]

thanks for sharing this video! I can definitely relate to your curing techniques but it took time for me to figure them out 😅 I also notice that it takes forever to cure pieces during rainy season, when it's cold and wet. can u share your thoughts/experience? 😀

[@zainclayarts]

Yes, same here! It also took me a while to figure out what works haha
Hmm as far as i know i haven't had any issues with the clay taking longer to cure since the weather here rarely gets cold even when it's raining or maybe I just really didn't notice since I would sometimes forget I have pieces that I set aside to cure 😅

Hey zain, im making some small pots for succulent plants. Once the air dry clay is cured will be be ok to put in a plant and water or will it fall apart? Thanks for your videos I'm now subscribed 😁
Thank you🪴

[@zainclayarts]

no, unfortunately air dry clay is not fit to use for pot making or anything that involves water even when it is completely sealed. it can soften due to moisture. thank you for subscribing 💚

Im struggle with clay cracked while drying process. I use no cooked clay with ratio 100gr cornstarch and 70gram glue, 1tbs oil , 1tbs vinegar. Is it the recipe or humidity problem?
