I bought this clay for my students to use for their bowl projects. Nearly half of the bowls have cracked and are now broken! No glue seems to work to hold the broken pieces together! I am so frustrated with this stuff! Our art show is in less than a week and I feel terrible that so many of their pieces wont be able to be fixed! This clay is awful!! Im not sure why its even sold! Also once the clay is dry it is super Chalky! I would NOT recommend this clay to anyone!

Craft Smart Natural Clay is really good for making molds when you need a casted item.

I bought this class to make a mushroom shaped earring holder I saw online. Unfortunately the clay get cracking and falling apart. I re did the sculpture 5 times before throwing it out.

I have a class of 28 middle schoolers and no access to a kiln. For the last few weeks of history, I am trying to make the lessons a little more "chill" and give them handout time with buddies after lessons. 
This clay was easy to divide into 30 pieces & baggie up before class. During class, the kids worked diligently on their projects. Some of the clay was fine right out of the bag. Others' clay chunk was really dry and crumbly, so we had to add water to their hands before kneading it. (Which sort of turned into a sludgy mess for certain types of kids, ha.)
Afterwards, I brought the projects home and put them into my food dehydrator so they'd be dry enough for next class. (It has been really rainy here and I worried the humidity might not allow the, to dry.) All but a few came out great! The ones that didn't were projects that were made too thin. I was worried that some of the chunkier projects might've taken too long to dry. They all completely dried within a few hours. I feel like they would have been fine without the use of the dehydrator.I'll test out that theory soon and will update my review after.

I love this clay! Super cheap for a lot of it!

After I bought a box of his clay, a friend allowed me to experiment with his box of this clay. Once I started using it, I wished I had left it on the shelf. I found this clay to be too dry and crumbly, both on the wheel and in hand-building. It just doesn’t seem to retain moisture well enough to work with it. Needless to say, I brought it back for a refund.

This clay literally just crumbles when it drys.

I understand it says in the box, this clay will shrink, but cracked as shown in the photos. However I bought twice because the 1st buy was short. This is just too much cracking and it fall off too. I'm afraid it will fall apart when I finish this project. It's for my customer though 😢

Sher

Easy to soften in hands. Drys too quickly while working with the clay. 
Add on pieces break off or crack even using the score and slip method. I don't recommend this clay for sculping or modeling or pinch pot method. Large pieces break at key areas. 
Maybe okay for miniatures or flat pieces 
Save your money if looking for sculpture clay, this clay is not it.

i got this clay as a replacement for the crayola air dry clay i usually buy, and at first i had high hopes, now im just dissapointed. it’s very wet and sticky out of the plastic, but it smells a little like urine and feels almost… plasticy? the wet clay doesnt stick to itself at all, you can easily tear attached pieces off even after blending and smoothing while the clay is still wet, they come off clean as if they were never stuck together. even when rolling the clay into a ball, it never has a smooth surface, if you take two pieces of clay and mash them rogether, roll them into a ball, you’ll have a ball but the parts where the clay was originally connected, the lines will show and you can seperate on that seam. while resting for less than 10 mins, the clay already began to crack. yes, it’s a good price, but the quality is so so bad. bottom line, stick with crayola if you want consistency in your finished pieces….
