See more at Design clays To choose the hardness that will fit you (there is no way I choose for you), you have to get the clay in the hand and handle to see which is better, especially if you have never used this kind of material. It is essential to handling before the choice, we have customers who do the same type of work, but work with different hardness, it depends from person to person. Consider also the region of the country where you are, because the clay softens with heat, so if you're in a hot area, will need a clay firmer clay than those who are in a cold area. If you have doubts about the hardness of clay, contact us, we will be glad to help. Click on the names of hardness to watch videos of the clays. |
