Would this be a good base for a clay bust sculpture, as far as clay sticking to it.

Mmmm...not sure about the clay, the surface is rather slick and smooth, but perhaps could be sanded to be roughed up at hold clay. I did wrap it in plaster bandages and they did hold. Perhaps you could put clay over these bandages as they would provide a rough surface also. Good luck!

I think that could be done. The surface is a bit slick, but the material substance is plenty strong enough to take a sanding that would do the trick nicely. Hope that helps you, and enjoy your sculpting!

I'm not sure how well clay holds to plastic but I would guess this would be fine. The surface is pretty slick but, as I remember, clay is sticky enough to handle this.

Maybe if you take wallpaper sizing and painted the skull. It seems a little slick without something.

Don't know if clay would stick but bread dough certainly did. The surface of the mat was smooth.

This mat is completely smooth. Whether clay will stick to it I have no idea. I use it for pies and other pastries...

It probably will work, but there certainly are better glues out there...and less expensive too. I once glued a resin lamp with basic white glue and it worked fine. If you need to fill in some missing chunks of your broken statue, after gluing it, use sheet rock mud. You can slap it on, let it dry and then either sand it or scrape off the excess with a sharp knife.

i used the wire for personalizing things with script names ... the wire was too thin for what i wanted as the names didn't hold their shape ... i do not know what kind of support your sculpture would need. i know i needed a stronger gauge ...

I would not. Perhaps using wall putty but because the figurine is curvy it would be difficult. It's not heavy and if it sat on something / shelf or board it would work.

It would work with a stable surface underneath; such as a pillow, shelf or rolling tabletop. The base is about 7" by 8" with a cutout.

I work in stoneware clay mostly. But have worked in Sculpty clay as well. How much of this to buy for your class depends on how many in the classroom? I would offer some advice about the white or terra cotta Sculpty clay and that is to buy their larger blocks or switch & try air dry clay. It can't be painted as when dry & adding paint, the wet paint will mix with the clay and make muted colors. It can be bought in White or terra cotta, the latter to which I would use. How much to buy of any clay or polymer has much to do with how many children in the class & the ages, due to hand size. I would buy a package and test it out on a student to see how much you will need for the entire class. Air Dry clay is sold at most craft stores or online like the Sculpty Clay is. You don't have to oven bake the air-dry clay. Hope I helped you some? ~Molly Martino

We've used it on artificial marble and formica, it does not hold up well at all. Would be okay for staging houses for display but wears off quickly in daily use. A good paste wax would do a better job.

Good day.I used it for a decoration piece and it works great. Not to big just the right size for decoration.

Yes I think so. I could see using it for that. The bottom has plenty of space for bags of soil if they are not the super large size. The upper shelf will fit clay pots nicely. I'll try the add pictures this weekend of the inside

I would say yes , might have to b a bit creative , the base is nice and solid,I really liked it and its construction .

It might but I've used for things other than rhinestones and I find it's harder to get things to stick. It probably depends on the material of the beads though.

Not sure what you consider ideal, but I think it would work much better than the kits that are sold specifically for that. I have tried those in the past and wasn't too happy with them. This is just clay so you can work with it to get the impression the way you want. Hope all that answers your question.

I'm not surs as I have never tried it. I am sure someone at an actual pottery type place could help though. Good luck.

I'm really not sure. I used it to cover a small crack in my bathtub. I don't know if it would hold the pieces of a statue together or not. Depends on the size and how heavy the pieces are, too. I don't think it would hurt it though. I would try Gorilla Glue first. It holds everything!!

We used polymer air drying clay in summer school with the kids last summer. The consistency is pretty firm. You could use it in the mold, but I would be extra gentle. I don't know that it would hold up to 100's of clay projects though. The mold is so inexpensive it would be worth a try. Have fun!
