We take pride to keep uniformity and consistency throughout our clay production. If you are experiencing clay that is too hard or too moist to work with, please let us know. It is critical to have customer feedback on hard or too moist clay to improve the water content of our recipes. If your clay is not to your satisfaction, we are happy to exchange or refund your order upon request. Please fill out the following form with any issues.
Tips for Hard Clay: If your clay is fresh from RMC and is too hard to use for your liking, we would be happy to exchange or refund your order. If your clay has been sitting for a while in your studio and you need some tips to get it usable again, here you go!
Clay has thixotropic characteristics, which means, clay that is too hard (viscous) will become softer when energy is added to it. So add energy to it! Drop it on the ground, throw it on the ground, punch it, kick it, heat it (to low temperatures). If this doesn’t do the trick, add some water to the bag and let it sit for a few days and wedge!
Tips for Soft Clay: Clay dries quickly so if your clay is too moist, let it air out then wedge it. It should become more firm shortly. Please let us know if your clay is consistently too soft though.
