Water-Based Clay

Laguna's WED is a great no-fire air drying clay. Just form what you want and dry it slowly!

Originally developed for use in sculpting Disney's animatronics models, WED (Walter E. Disney) clay is an extremely versatile water based clay with properties similar to many of today's most popular oil based clays. It's smooth, slow drying, extremely pliable, and works great for sculptors seeking a "fast sculpt" medium. WED clay is still commonly used by professionals in the entertainment industry for masks, modeling, mockup, and large scale sculptures. Like any water based clay, WED clay needs to be kept moist, preferably with a spray bottle or a damp towel. Saran wrap is also commonly used.

Rocky Mountain Clay's Red Rock Red with Grog contains the same advanced clay body formula as Red Rock Red, with the addition of grog for some added 'tooth' and strength!

With excellent handling properties that allow it to dry more evenly, this formula is specifically designed for low fire sculpture projects. So you get to enjoy its iconic terra cotta color, without having to worry about cracking tendencies other low-fire clay bodies might experience. 

These characteristics are often hard to find in a low-fire clay body, but Red Rock Red is a great clay for all levels and styles. It looks beautiful left unglazed, with a clear glaze or layered with your favorite glaze combination.

Calling all hand-builders and sculptors alike! Rocky Mountain Clay has formulated a low to mid-fire sculpture body for demanding artists and craftsmen.

Quarry is a coarse, oatmeal colored firing clay for modeling, tiles, press molding, and sculptural projects. It fires off white and displays its grog with a beautiful slight grain variation throughout. 

Although Quarry is successful at both a low-fire and mid-fire cone, it is recommended to match your clear glaze with your designated firing temp to reduce the chances of crazing.
