Clay Modeling Master Class in Minsk — Decor Without a Kiln
Air-dry clay is the perfect way to make interior decor without a kiln. The clay hardens on its own in open air within 24–48 hours.
In the session we show you how to work this pliable material: rolling it out, shaping it, smoothing the seams and adding texture with stamps and real plants.
You can make trays, trinket boxes, candle holders or decorative plates. Once the piece has fully dried at home (24–48 hours), you can paint it with acrylics and seal it with varnish.
