Many people have said that if you want air dry clay just use your household ingredients because cold porcelain clay is easy to make. That isn’t entirely true. Granted when I first made my first batch of cold porcelain clay I got it right on the first try. But that isn’t the case for everyone. Some say when they make their cold porcelain clay it’s too stick or too hard. Making the best cold porcelain clay requires having a great formula and sticking to it. If i do make a mistake with my cold porcelain clay, I know how to fix it. Here is a free tip for all of you porcelain clay lover and makers. If you over cook the clay you can save it by adding elmers glue. use enough to get the clay back to a mushy like state and then recook it again until it’s the desired consistency you want! hope that was helpful!

Many people have said that cold porcelain clay melts in extreme heat and water. This is not entirely true. If you seal your finished pieces with a sealer your work will be well protected. Varnish sealers are inexpensive and easy to find at your local arts n crafts store or online. Once I left a charm I made with cold porcelain clay in my car on an extremely hot day. When I returned it was still as I left it. in perfect condition and not melted. I didn’t even seal it with a sealer that day. To go a bit further with my experiment, I dropped a bead I made in a tall glass of water and let it sit for half hr. Well the waterproof sealer held up to its name and my bead was still in tact. So if people make it seem that cold porcelain clay is extremely fragile that is untrue in my opinion. This is a great clay that I find is so much easier to work with than polymer clay. It’s so incredibly smooth, durable, pliable, holds fine detail extremely well and is very versatile. My mission is to try to do many techniques with cold porcelain clay that has also been achieved with polymer clay. For all you polymer clay lovers, Make way for the fast rising star, Cold porcelain clay! Happy crafting!!

I’ve been a little off my blogging game over the last couple of months. I put it down to having to juggle writing a thesis with other projects – “other projects” like making a giant fish piñata and cake for the launch of new comedy e-book anthology The Sturgeon General at 107 Projects. Of course I’ve also just been watching a lot of Gilmore Girls and going to Gatsby themed parties at The Victoria Room.
But back to the cake, because that’s what we’re all here for. A couple of weeks ago now I went through the process of baking and freezing four tiers of cake in three different flavours, so that on launch day I could ice together a layered monstrosity that had launch guests boggling at its height (not so much girth, it was pretty much regular cake-girth). 
The frosting was this one here. Which is a…

It’s been brought to my attention that not too many people know about cold porcelain clay or have ever even heard of it. I guess it’s not to shocking since a few years ago I never heard of it either. Unfortunately because many people haven’t heard of cold porcelain air dry clay I find that some people are reluctant to give it a chance. Also many people will swear by polymer clay and not even give cold porcelain a chance. I personally think they are missing out! There are so many benefits to cold porcelain and I feel it is just as good and in some cases even better than polymer clay. I also think that because it’s not that widely known there are a few misconceptions send out there about cold porcelain that depreciates it’s value. It is a great clay to work with! hopefully it will be love and appreciated in the near future!
