I didn't use cling film when making a pot. Now my air drying clay has stuck to my crockery. Are there any tips for releasing it and getting it off in 1 piece?

[@DianasYTChannel]

Yes. Thanks, Sarah. 😄

[@RedRockingBird]

@@littlevoice_11 once fully dry it should just ping off, both being bone dry there would be nothing to make it stick, I hope it releases for you

Hi and welcome, amazing, so good to hear you are enjoying, thank you, lots more coming soon ❤

[@aliceg5677]

This is so helpful. I used some air dry clay with my new Zuri moulds and put them in the freezer for 30 mins so it made them easy to take out of the moulds but I can see wee bits curling as they are drying so I’m gonna move them into a cooler space. Thanks so much for your amazing videos and helpful tips. I’ve got hooked on this now and I absolutely love it!

[@RedRockingBird]

Amazing, give everything a try and experiment, I’ll show more with moulds too, have also tried the freezer method. Thanks, enjoy

I love your lessons, what is the ideal thickness to roll out clay thankyou

[@RedRockingBird]

Thank you. Depends what you are making and what you will be top coating it with ⭐️

[@dianaaranha5512]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge Sarah. I love your videos and your voice is so calm and soothing so they are my go to these days ❤I'd like to ask if home made air dry clay works as well. I'm making a lot of christmas ornaments for the sale this year and DIY clay would be economical for me if it works as well as the shop bought one. Thanks for any advice.

[@RedRockingBird]

You are so welcome, thank you 😊 DIY Air Dry Clay Recipe: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJTRapWsmaiBaLs I find the cost is pretty similar, but in the UK air dry clay is not expensive, so best weigh the costs up.This homemade clay is very durable, almost rock hard actually, but make sure you really beat it and don’t overheat. Best of luck ❤️

[@marissamello1164]

What if the piece I'm making is not flat on both sides? so I can't re-roll over it, lay something on top of it, or turn it over?

[@RedRockingBird]

You can still manipulate while drying yes

Hi miss Sara how are you 💞 good morning with nice ur video

[@janebrowning4992]

Hi, how long do you work the clay each time before you use it please as I can seem to get mine smooth. ? Thanks in advance

[@RedRockingBird]

fresh clay just a few turns, old clay i would knead more and maybe add just the tiniest amout of water to my fingers, thanks, best of luck ❤

[@lightbulbnirvana]

Hi Sarah, FYI, There is a hiss in the audio. Other than that iIm always happy to hear more about ADC! ❤

[@RedRockingBird]

Hi, I hoped it wouldn’t be too noticeable, if you turn the volume lower it kind of goes away, something I’m working on with my head shot videos. Last time I knew I had a hiss I mentioned it and most people said they didn’t notice, so this time I thought I wouldn’t mention, but yes I know it’s annoying, sorry, always mention it if there is something not quite right, that’s how we improve after all. Thank you, have a great day 😊❤️

I use air dry clay for earrings to sell, I have problems with curling when it dries. Any ideas if these tips will work on smaller items like the earrings?

[@RedRockingBird]

Yes should do, I’d keep turning and flattening and keep an eye on them

[@_squishyyoongles366]

@@RedRockingBirdOkay, I will try it too. Thank you .

[@robot7759]

Do you find there is any "optimal" temperature range for air-drying clay to cure?

[@RedRockingBird]

Not really, in warmer climates you may want to slow down the drying, humidity would also take effect as-well and I’m only used to the UK climate 😆❤️😊

[@RedRockingBird]

@@robot7759 some questions are pretty tricky to answer 😅

[@sadafroomana9575]

My question is my clay not perfect make how I do 😒

[@RedRockingBird]

Do you mean it’s nit very smooth when finished and maybe a bit bumpy? As a beginner I’d go much thicker with the walls of the clay and take plenty of time to create and smooth. Leave to partially dry and then you can use a slightly damp sponge to smooth some more if needed. Once fully dry you can sand with sandpaper, hope this helps, Sarah
