How It Works:
Simply sculpt your clay creations, let them air dry naturally (usually 1–3 days) or oven bake at 100-120C for 1-1.5hrs, then paint and seal with the included glaze. Display your handmade mugs, trinket dishes, or mini sculptures proudly—or give them as thoughtful, handmade gifts.

FAQs
Does this clay need to be fired in a kiln or oven?
No kiln or oven is required! Our Mini Kit uses premium air-dry clay that hardens naturally within 24–48 hours depending on the thickness of your piece. It’s the perfect way to enjoy pottery from your kitchen table without needing professional equipment.
Is the clay and glaze food-safe or waterproof?
While our air-dry clay is incredibly durable for decorative items (like jewelry dishes, incense holders, or vases), it is not food-safe or 100% waterproof. To give your piece a water-resistant, glossy finish, we recommend adding our High-Gloss Varnish to your order.
What exactly comes in the Mini DIY Clay Kit?
This kit is a complete "pottery studio in a box." It includes 250g of premium air-dry clay, 5 wooden sculpting tool, a sponge for smoothing, a paintbrush, and our signature "Getting Started" guide as well as high gloss varnish. It’s designed to provide everything a beginner needs to make 1–2 small-to-medium pieces.
Is this kit suitable for kids or total beginners?
Absolutely! We designed this kit specifically for beginners and hobbyists. The clay is non-toxic and easy to manipulate, making it a fantastic sensory activity for kids (ages 5+) and a relaxing, creative outlet for adults. No prior "artist" experience is required.
How many things can I make with one Mini Kit?
You can typically create 2 small items (like a pair of coasters or a ring dish) or 1 medium item (like a small succulent pot or a sculptural vase). If you’re planning a larger project, we recommend grabbing an extra 500g Clay Refill Pack to ensure you don't run out!
Does the clay stain clothes or furniture?
Our clay is minimally messy and generally washes out of fabric and off surfaces with just a bit of warm water. However, we always recommend working on a placemat or a piece of baking paper to keep your workspace tidy.
How long will the clay stay fresh if I don't use it right away?
If kept in its original airtight packaging, your clay will stay fresh for several months. Once opened, be sure to store any unused clay in a tightly sealed Ziploc bag or airtight container to prevent it from drying out before your next "clay date."
Can I paint my clay creations once they are dry?
Yes! Once your piece is fully dry (bone-dry), you can use acrylic paints to add color. For a professional, ceramic-like look, finish it off with a coat of our Sunday & Clay Varnish to protect the paint and add a beautiful shine.
Amazing! We ordered these for a kids birthday party and the kids loved them. The orders arrived quickly and exceeded my expectation! We had a few late RSVP’s and the team at Sunday & Clay made sure multiple re-orders arrived on time. Thanks again!
Absolutely adore this mini kit! I had the classic terracotta clay and it was super easy to work with. The kit included everything I needed to get started and try something new without overthinking it.
Would highly recommend this as a starter for any clay novice or gift for a friend :)
We recently arranged a clay workshop for a team offsite, and the experience exceeded our expectations. The mini clay kits provided were exceptional, containing all the tools we needed to create our pieces. The kits were conveniently delivered on-site, ensuring a seamless start to our activity.
One of the highlights of the workshop was having a facilitator present to guide us through the session. The overall feedback from the group was overwhelmingly positive and we could not recommend it more for future events. It offered a perfect blend of creativity and fun while also being therapeutic. A huge thank you to the awesome team at Sunday & Clay!
I’d love to be able to share a review, however I’ve still not received the clay kit which is disappointing as I had originally ordered it for Christmas.
Hi Leah! We tried to reach out to you via email on the 19th and 23rd of December (unfortunately we didn't have your phone contact) but haven't seemed to have heard back. From our courier tracking it appears the parcel was delivered on the 20th of December but please let us know if you still haven't received your parcel.
We had your kit shipped out the same day that your order came through. Unfortunately, once the item is with our courier, it’s in their hands, and delays can sometimes happen that are beyond our control. We hope you received the kit but please let us know if you haven't and we'll look at making it right!
I bought it to try something new, and I’m hooked! Can’t wait to purchase more clay kits!
