Q10: What should I do if the clay dries up?

Solution 1: Wrap the clay in a wet cloth, place it in a container to prevent the cloth from drying, and it will become soft again by overnight. (The softening time required for clay depends on the degree of dryness and the size of the clay lump.)

Solution 2:  1. If your clay feels dry and rubbery, you can soften it by introducing a small amount of water. Begin by lightly spraying the clay with water. It is essential to avoid using excessive water, as too much can make the clay overly sticky and difficult to handle. After spraying, knead the clay thoroughly with your hands. The process of kneading helps to evenly distribute the moisture throughout the clay, allowing it to regain its flexibility and softness.

2. If it is found that the clay has dried out and becomes hard, it is not recommended to soften it again, because the dried clay is very sticky after softening and is not suitable for use.
3. When the clay softens, discoloration and stickiness will appear during the kneading process. This phenomenon will disappear after repeated kneading for a while, and will not cause harm to the body.
