How long does air dry clay take to dry?

Clay that dries in the air typically needs between 24 and 72 hours to complete the drying process. You might need to wait a little longer for the piece to dry properly for larger projects. It is preferable to let the clay dry naturally rather than rushing the process by placing too near a heat source such as a radiator.

  • Figure models such as people, animals, characters, etc
  • Pinch Pots
  • Coil Bowls
  • Slab builds and models such as buildings, structures, etc.
