Rehydrating dry Art Clay Silver is actually quite manageable. If your clay's dried out, no need to stress! From our findings, it happens to a lot of people, and there's an easy way to fix it.
Start by gathering your dry clay and some plastic wrap or a resealable plastic bag. You'll need to add some moisture back, but not too much. Break up the dry clay into small pieces first—this helps the moisture spread out evenly later.
Next, wrap the crumbled clay in a damp cloth or paper towel. This slowly adds moisture back into the clay.
Then, place the wrapped clay inside the plastic wrap or bag, but don't seal it completely. Leave it for a few hours or overnight. This gives the clay time to absorb moisture gradually, so it won't end up too sticky and hard to work with.
Make sure to check on your clay occasionally. As it starts to hydrate, gently knead it through the plastic. If it seems like it needs a bit more moisture, add a few drops of water gradually. Just be careful not to add too much.
Our research shows that being patient and slowly adding moisture usually works best—helps avoid making the clay too sticky.
If you accidentally add too much water and it's become overly wet, don't panic. Leave it unwrapped in the open air for a bit to dry out, then check its texture again. It's all about finding that right balance where the clay is workable but not too sticky.
With a bit of effort, you can save your dry Art Clay Silver and make the most of it. By keeping an eye on its texture and following these steps, your clay should be as good as new and ready for your next project.
Happy crafting!
