AMACO Cloud Clay, Terra Cotta, 4-Ounce Package Review

This is a wonderful product. It takes my grandchildren over an hour. Clay is easy to handle and doesn't get dirty.

I expected this material to be very easy to work with, especially as it is being sold for use in schools. It was EXTREMELY sticky and messy and even my FLAT 2D objects didn't air dry overnight as advertised!

when we opened the package, the clay was partially covered with white-green mold. She was also tough and fell apart when we tried to manipulate her. We immediately threw it away because we weren't sure what type of mold/fungus was on it. rough. waste of our money.

Not sure if it went bad in hot weather but it arrived with the slightly melted orange around the white pack and the only one I opened (purple) was unusable as melted chewing gum and it took me ten minutes to scrape it off my fingers and wash my hands because it was so sticky and dirty and gross.

No moisture. Too soft to be shaped effectively. Does not hold its shape, flattens out after drying. and dries much longer than specified in the instructions (still soft to the touch after 48 hours, supposedly dry after 24 hours). Kids can play with it, but there are much better products out there. many of them are less expensive. Beware artists, absolutely useless!
