💡 Helpful Tips:
Allow finished projects to dry slowly and evenly on all sides at room temperature to help minimize cracking and warping. 💧

🔥 Two Finishing Options:

Option 1: Air-Dry Finish (No Kiln Needed)
Allow pieces to fully cure at room temperature, then decorate using:
🎨 Acrylic paints
🎨 Tempera paints
🛡️ Shellac or varnish for added strength and water resistance

Option 2: Kiln Firing for Permanent Ceramics
Once fully dry, pieces may be kiln fired up to Cone 04 for increased hardness and durability. After bisque firing, projects can be glazed and fired again to create permanent ceramic pieces. 🔥🏺

⚠️ Important:
Air-dried projects are decorative unless properly sealed and are not naturally waterproof without finishing protection.

📦 Storage:
Keep unused clay tightly sealed in plastic or stored in an airtight container to prevent drying out. 💧
