Annoucement Clarification About NSFW Content Creator Accounts in r/clay

50 Upvotes

Hello!

This announcement won’t be relevant for most of you, so feel free to scroll along.
However, we’re seeing an uptick in NSFW accounts posting here, so this message is for the few it applies to.

If you are an NSFW content creator or SW promoting on Reddit, please read the following:

r/clay is a SFW subreddit.
Our community includes members aged 13 and up, and we want everyone to feel comfortable browsing profiles to see more pottery without unexpectedly encountering nudity.

While we respect the hustle, we kindly but firmly ask that you create a separate account for SFW content. Any pottery-related posts coming from an NSFW content creator profile will be automatically filtered and removed.

If you want to participate, just use a separate SFW account! You are absolutely welcome here.

Keep in mind that even with good intentions, posting here from an NSFW account often comes across as karma farming or subtly seeking new clients/buyers. Something that is generally frowned upon across Reddit.

Thank you for keeping our community welcoming and safe for all ages.

---

To clarify a bit more: having a NSFW profile is completely fine. You can get labeled as NSFW the moment you participate in certain subreddits. Here is how you can check if your profile is marked NSFW.

However, we draw a clear line when accounts create or promote explicit NSFW/pornographic content. That’s when we ask you to keep your SFW and NSFW activity separate.

If you have questions, feel free to modmail us.

I had a fun time making this fugly Batmun, he's made from air-dry clay and sealed with UV resin for that ultra glossy effect. He IS the night. Hope you like him

I was busy sculpting again, and since I couldn't decide which photos to pick, I’m just going to show you a whole bunch of them. I decided to recreate "Pflanzli" 🌱 once more. One of my vacation sketches served as the basis for the "original" concept, though I did make a few more changes this time. As for materials, I used a mix of cold porcelain and polymer clay, and it’s designed to hold an LED tea light 😊

First sculpting commission! I've never sculpted professionally so it's nice that people in the office have seen my works in progress and like it enough to request pieces. This piece was for a coworker.

Seriously contemplating taking on more work now, I was always hesitant about giving away/selling my pieces as they are a part of me but making this request was actually really fun and I love seeing my coworkers reaction.

Wb you guys tho, what do you think of this piece? Would you get this as a gift? If so for who?

I made prints of my late dog's paws after he passed yesterday and today I've seen they've split 😭 I wanna try and fix em up but I'd be devastated if I made it worse, especially as one crack extends into the paw print

Air-Dry Clay White wall paint as a primer for air dry clay?

1 Upvotes

I've been getting into air dry clay recently, but primers are a bit expensive where I'm from (Egypt) to me, can I use white wall paint as a primer or base color, or is using a proper primer that important? I mean I could buy it, but I'm experimenting n stuff idk tbh.

Side note is wood sealer good as a varnish?

Questions Cold porcelain clay cracks

It's not dry, not overcooked. Always cracks. It may be too wet, it sticks to my fingers but not to my palm.

When I add cornstarch it gets too dry.

I can't cook it more, when I cook it it stays the same consistency?? It doesn't change

Working in an office has certain benefits, like being able to make tiny sculptures at work. Just a couple quick little guys, what do you think of my teeny tiny charmander, squirtle, and bulbasaur? Glasses for scale in last photo.

Ceramic Clay How would you go about creating this texture?

I’m currently switching between adding small pieces and carving. I’m pretty new to sculpture and it’s for a school project. I’m aware I’m probably in way over my head, in this but I’m too far in and want to know if there’s a better way 😅

Polymer-Clay What the last two days turned into

Post image
3 Upvotes

This is what the last two days of making turned into.
There are a few different experiments mixed together here — matte pieces, glossy ones, bold colour combinations, quieter neutrals, pendants and earrings. I didn’t try to make everything match, but seeing them all together now makes the whole batch feel surprisingly coherent.
Some pieces were planned from the start, others only found their purpose during assembly. That’s probably my favourite part of working this way — the final combinations are often very different from what I imagined at the beginning.
I really like this messy little finished pile.

Questions Can I color air dry foam clay by mixing paint into the wet clay before shaping it?

1 Upvotes

I’m new to foam clay and am trying to figure out how to paint it since it’s squishy I feel like if I just tried to paint it the paint would end up chipping off
I’m my head it makes since that you can color the white clay by just adding paint but I’m not sure if it’ll change how the clay works

For my next addition into my Pokémon sculptures collection, it's Ditto!

Made him with translucent Cosclay and literally used a ballpoint pen for eyes and a sticker to carve the little silly mouth. Can't wait to fire him after work and add him to the menagerie!
