Is Das a good clay brand?
It works wonderfully. The smooth texture of the clay once it’s dried makes it very easy to paint onto, so that is another plus. One last thing, this clay dries out my hands a LOT. Working with it for a few hours basically absorbed all of the moisture in my hands and made it mildly uncomfortable for the night.
Is DAS Air dry clay durable?
As a general rule, air dry clay is not as robust or strong as clay that has been fired in a kiln but that does not mean that it breaks easily. Air-dry clay breaks easier than regular clay but it is still quite durable and it is definitely strong enough for most smaller and mid-sized projects.

Can you bake Das modeling clay?
Put the tray into a cold oven and turn it on to the lowest setting (around 200-250°F). Do not put the clay into an already hot oven as it is likely to crack. Baking time depends on the size and thickness of your sculpture. I never leave the oven on for longer than 20-25 mins at a time to prevent burning the clay.

Water can be added to Air-Dry Clay to soften or join pieces. If too much water is added and clay is very soft, allow excess to evaporate before molding pieces; otherwise, cracking may result.
