It turned out so cute! I started skeptical, thinking of all the little holes and the paint, but absolutely fell in love with it at the end. It all came together perfectly. And that's why you should never doubt the artist... I love how all your projects are real, you show your honest thoughts and struggles, which makes the end result a 1000x more amazing. Thank you for sharing this video with us. Greetings from New Zealand
As someone that works with polymer and air dry clay all the time, Chloe... get a piece of acrylic sheet. You can put grippe feet on it, if it moves too much for you, but i personally have found it stays put. It'll save you massive amounts of headache because you can also paint on it, and keeps your space clean AND its pretty easy to clean too.
I always do mine over my cutting mat, and fir air dry clay i like to occasionally tape down wax paper or parchment (it really doesn't natter) but usually my cutting mat works jist fine for me
@@arthur-oy2ki I did that for a while, but then it randomly started sticking to my mat and I found it extremely difficult to clean, even before it started sticking. Then i tried using the parchment paper taped down, and it stuck worse and the paper would either rip or come untapped. A scraper will take paint and clay off an acrylic sheet easy.
Well done. Your little tic tac toe board is really cute. Just a tip for smoothing your work. Use a fine sandpaper to sand the dried, finished piece before painting.
Unfortunately without clay being fired in a kiln this is considered the bisque stage so even though sandpaper is a good idea and can be used it is mostly only used on already fired clay but can be used to add texture to unfired clay😊
Pinch pot and drape bowl are techniques rather than objects. You pinch the clay into shape between your fingers for a pinch pot. And for the drape, you roll a flat slab and drape it over a mould to create the shape.
Pinch pots can be the very beginning of building many different items & the foundation of hand building & remember there's about a 10% shrinkage too with clay when it drys
05:00 That is the display stand for your instruction cards! 🎉 How cool is that?! ❤😊 Wilton has a roller that has different depth of rings to attach to their roller for different thicknesses of dough. Could easily be adapted for clay work.
I think you should also try Skulpd next because why not? 😂😊 And I don't do sculpting, but my assessment is that maybe they should have had fewer paint colors (lovely as they are) and provided a roller instead. If it bumped up the price a bit, it would still be worth it given the struggles you had without one, especially since, as you noted, this is a beginner kit. Why would they expect someone to have a spare roller? (Even if they bake I assume you'd want one dedicated to cooking and one dedicated to art.) It's good they included what they did as far as tools go. Those were obviously very useful. I also think the painting tips should've mentioned thinning the paint and multiple light coats if it didn't, but maybe they didn't have room or didn't think of it. I love your S'mores inspired Tic Tac Toe set. It came out really cute! You're right; the marshmallows look almost like the real thing, lol... forbidden marshmallows.
@Charky_Creations That's true, but she was struggling to find one that was heavy enough/wide enough for her purposes. Not everyone will think of this either, especially not every beginner, IMHO.
Speaking as someone who got ripped off on Etsy with a date night pottery kit that came with the cheapest tools I've ever seen, a third as much clay as in your kit, hardly any paint, and no ideas of things to make with it - AND it cost literally twice as much! - I was really excited to see you test this kit, and would love to see you do the other brand as well. I just wish you'd happened to make this video about year ago and saved me from that Etsy scam!
I don't know how Sculp'd and Pot'd are not the same company, I have done a Sculp'd kit before and it is nearly identical except mine only had white paint and gloss varnish. Tools were the same, the font for the logos is the same, even the instruction cards and projects were the same! That being said, I love your tic-tac-toe set, so cute!
Well done! Especially brilliant since you're also a beginner, 3-D design is a whole different beast from 2-D 😅 speakong from experience. Some advice, highly recommend getting a ruler and some simple shape cookie cutters or even just stencils in the right shapes for when you want specifically square or circular pieces. It's super helpful. Ruler helps you make sure it's got the right intended diameter or dimensions while stencils and cookie cutters give the same size every time. Still everything you sculpted turned out brilliant and I love how it all turned out. ❤
I would leave air dry clay 48 hours to fully harden. It will absorb moisture from your paint, so thin layers and build up slowly and let dry really well between coats or yes, it will peel, even really expensive acrylics will peel if you put it on too thick and try to recoat too soon. Really cute idea though, definitely looked very graham crackerish!
Cool! Looks like a solid product. I just saw those tic-tac-toe ideas recently on Pinterest, and they're so cute! Btw, one of NerdeCrafter's kits included a big ol' floppy mat that's perfect for clay. I'd slice a piece of cardboard underneath the mat so you can transfer the clay off your desk to set it aside to harden.
It's worth noting that your added cross hatch pieces may crack off as it dries. Clay really needs you to score and wet it before you connect two different pieces to each other. It helps enormously to keep them from popping apart later.
Chloe that tic tac toe board and pieces came out really nicely, and remember, it's not home made if its not a little wonky and slightly uneven. I think you did very well considering the simple tools you had. Watching you make that set has made me want to make a set for myself. Tic tac toe is a fun game that myself and my granddaughter can happily play. Plus she will enjoy making the set too, so thank you for the idea. I would love to see you review the other brand, that would be fun. Thanks for the video. Have a great weekend!
Enjoyed the Sculp’d clay kit easier to use than modelling clay needing baking - made some characters from kid’s books ( Dog Man ) which went well and painted nicely.
I totally adore you. I would love nothing more than to sit down with you and have a cup of tea. have pre-ordered your book. I am so excited, I can not wait for it to arrive.
I remember taking a pottery class as a kid. We made little ghosts that you could put a light inside to illuminate the face at night. It was basically done with the draping technique. It was simple. Bunch up some tinfoil and newspaper into a tall shape. Roll out a slab pf clay to 1/4 inch thick. Drape over the form. Allow to dry to a leather like stage. Carve out eyes and mouth (I can't recall if anyone made one with a nose). Trim lenght and edges. Sand. Fire. Glaze. Re fire. Job done. We ended up with cute little ghost tea light creations. 👻🕯️
The tic-tac-toe board looks AMAZING! That would be very difficult to paint, at least for me. Like others have said, maybe look into using different paint brands in the future if you continue working with clay? I've never heard of these kits before and this was so fun to watch!
I’m not sure if you edited it out of the video, but I’ll mention this just in case! When attaching two pieces of clay together, it’s very important to crosshatch and put a bit of water in between! It helps the pieces stick together throughout the whole process and hopefully forever lol. When working with real clay, some people even have a very diluted clay to spread on top of the crosshatch for maximum attachment lol
Hi, Chloe, I love your nails and think you are doing an incredible job working with clay, so don't worry. For a beginner using the clay in the pottery kit like a boss, you should definitely do more videos like this where you are testing out art boxes.
I have a big glass panel I use on my desk. You can clean the surface with a razor blade. Cleans paint off really well. Havent found anything I cant scrape off it.
No rolling pin or roller... no problem. I use a wine bottle to roll my pizza dough when I make pizza. It works and does not stick to the dough. Win win in my book.
Awesome video, project came out beautiful!!❤ I was thinking the cardboard display stand may have been to hold the directions. Would like to see a video on the other sculpt kit and comparison😊
That came out super cute! YES I would love to see a comparison with the other one. Also, your merch is really cool. P.S. my favorite brown is redband green mixed, makes a really rich brown color. Nit sure you got those colors in the kit though and you probably already know that 😂
I have been eying this box for a bit. This popped up juat at the right time. It is a pricey box, so I want to make sure it is worth the coin. I trust your opinion.
Hullo Chloe, I do enjoy watching your videos and seeing you create your art! I have several of your products and I have shared your new storefront! I just wanted to say that the best art box I have EVER PURCHASED was by Jackie the NerdECrafter! Her box’s are simply the BEST! My next was the one done by Neil from Real Terrain Hobbies both had everything that you need to make wonderful art. I have no idea why you are having trouble getting your paint to stick to your clay. In the past it has been contaminated surfaces for me. A silicone sealant or dirty tools messy with some grease or oil. Maybe you could wash the surface and be certain it is dry before trying again? Good luck with the store opening!
I love how there are so many accents for water. Your adorable wortah, here in the southern US it's, wrorter lol! Then up north you hear whatah 😂 ❤ love you beautiful lady!
I’d love to see you try the other pottery kit. Also you melt the chocolate on a S’more so your chocolates totally work. Well Done. If you want to remove those finger prints from your pottery, try brushing it with 90% alcohol while it’s still wet
@@sunnymeowcat if people don't want to watch such awesome content then they got no taste diamond painting on a 3D castle is beyond but thanks for the explanation
Just me immediately thinking she should make a cute trinket dish for her rings when she showed the cards she was looking at? Make it look like a piece of candy lol
It’s not wonky it’s handmade and has character.
I love when things looks a bit wonky, it adds character

Or a glass cutting board.
A friend actually gave me a large glossy tile and it was a game changer 🙌🏻
@@vonkatartistryI second the large glossy tile! Plus if you are using oven baked clay instead of air dry, the tile goes in the oven just fine
Well done. Your little tic tac toe board is really cute. Just a tip for smoothing your work. Use a fine sandpaper to sand the dried, finished piece before painting.
OR use a brush with a bit of water to clear away some of the fingerprints. (Especially where it's hard to reach with the sandpaper.)
Unfortunately without clay being fired in a kiln this is considered the bisque stage so even though sandpaper is a good idea and can be used it is mostly only used on already fired clay but can be used to add texture to unfired clay😊
Remember to sand in a well ventilated area!!!
Ohhh please I need to see you make something in clay with the Sculpd kit as well! I really enjoyed watching you make this 🥰
I agree, please do sculpt kit too!
Ditto!
You should make a ring tree for when you’re doing messy projects 😊
Pinch pot and drape bowl are techniques rather than objects. You pinch the clay into shape between your fingers for a pinch pot. And for the drape, you roll a flat slab and drape it over a mould to create the shape.
moriah elizabeth has FABULOUS high-quality pastel paints in her store--the bottles are bigger in the more recent drop
Chloe's got a bunch of those from a previous video, too

It doesn't need to be a dedicated rolling pin. You can use literally anything smooth and round. The side of a bottle or jar works just fine.
@Charky_Creations That's true, but she was struggling to find one that was heavy enough/wide enough for her purposes. Not everyone will think of this either, especially not every beginner, IMHO.

Perfection does not exist. I prefer imperfection. Makes it real. Love watching you create 😊

You were more patient and calm than I ever would be ! Nothing seems as easy as the promotions claim . You get a solid 10 !
Love to see you compare the two companies. Love the little chocolate & marshmallow pieces ❤❤❤
yes try the sculpd one, and make something to hold your rings while you craft!
yesss please do a video on the sculpt kit😍😍😍

Always love your unboxing videos. Would appreciate the second kit as well. It's great to get someone's unbiased opinion in the age of sponsorships
I am so happy you uploaded this, I always wanted to buy art boxes but was too nervous...
yeah, she’s a godsend 👌
You need to make a pot to keep your rings in when you are creating. 😊
Would love to see you try one of the projects they included instructions for in this kit to give a good idea of how they expect you to use it
I would leave air dry clay 48 hours to fully harden. It will absorb moisture from your paint, so thin layers and build up slowly and let dry really well between coats or yes, it will peel, even really expensive acrylics will peel if you put it on too thick and try to recoat too soon.

The circle that was meant to be a square reminded me..
A pizza is round, comes in a square box that we cut into triangles 😂 love this vid!
Would love to see a reveiw of Sculpd as well! The little cardboard doohicky is for holding your instruction cards!
I love it!
Another clay crafting video please!!!

😍Need the desk mat 🔥🙌🏻

Yes please try the sculpd one!
Id love to see you try sculpt and compare the 2.

i’d love to see another crochet craft kit tbh! if you can find something
I’d love to see this kit vs the other brand. See which is better or if they’re virtually the same with a slight different price
I love the tic tac toe! It turned out soooo cute! Love the chocolate and marshmallows. 💜💜💜
not me just finishing the video and realised it was posted less than a minute before i clicked😳 loved this video❤️
yes sure test sculpt as well looks like a great kit reasonable price as well💖
I wanna see you try everything available on the market, Chloe. 🥰
I love your reviews. S2
You could do the Sculpt one and do that little bear idea you showed!
I would love to see a comparison with Sculpd!
I just came in from throwing some bowls on my wheel and here you are making with clay!❤🎨
I'd love to see you try out sculpt. It's fun watching you create

What a fun little project. Look forward to your next adventure 💖
Such a cute theme for the tic-tac-toe board!

This was fun to watch!😊
Your black outfit reminds me of black widow and I love it
Enjoyed this so yes another please ❤
I loved the s’mores theme!!
I love the “very detailed instruction cards for different projects, that’s fabulous!” Then “I’m not doing any of those.”
No rolling pin or roller... no problem. I use a wine bottle to roll my pizza dough when I make pizza. It works and does not stick to the dough. Win win in my book.
I would love to see you try sculpd as well!
Awesome video, project came out beautiful!!❤ I was thinking the cardboard display stand may have been to hold the directions. Would like to see a video on the other sculpt kit and comparison😊
PLEASE make a ring holder or necklace for your wedding ring to keep it safe from the crafts
That came out super cute! YES I would love to see a comparison with the other one. Also, your merch is really cool.
P.S. my favorite brown is redband green mixed, makes a really rich brown color. Nit sure you got those colors in the kit though and you probably already know that 😂
I’m so glad you commented that the paints looked like something you’d want to eat, because I was staring at them thinking they looked delicious
Would love to see you try out the Sculpd kit.
Beautiful! I've always wanted to make one of these. I have saved so many on pinterest 😅
I love how you took out the sponge and immediately said “SpongeBob”😂😂 Love your videos keep up the great work!!❤❤❤❤
I ran so fast to that link to get the desk thing, and it's sold outttt. It's such a good price too, you did so good
Please tell me there'll be a restock
I have been eying this box for a bit. This popped up juat at the right time. It is a pricey box, so I want to make sure it is worth the coin. I trust your opinion.
I have done some pottery before and one thing that I would recommend. is that you sand it down . before putting painting it.
Would be cool to make a tic tac toe game in a shape of a waffle, it looks very similar.
Love your videos❤

Chloe. You keep speaking about your rings you need to make a ring holder/ stand for your art room cheers 🇦🇺
Anything that is cylindrical is a rolling pin. A cup, can, bottle anything 🎉 you can also tape the paper to the desk
The tic tac toe board is adorable!
Loved it so cute! Should have used Moriah’s paints maybe?!
Please do sculpt to compare! Love your videos! Also there is such a thing as wonky wear which is very chic and designer… so yours is just designer
I’d love to see you try the other pottery kit. Also you melt the chocolate on a S’more so your chocolates totally work. Well Done. If you want to remove those finger prints from your pottery, try brushing it with 90% alcohol while it’s still wet
Maybe to hold the book open while you use it to sculpt
That sentence about pottery not being relaxing in the beginning is sooo true😅😅 as a ceramic minor in college I feel you😂
I was scrolling Facebook while watching the video and got an ad for Pott'd... I have never had an ad for this before
A random thought. You could have made the lines wavey and make them into chocolate drizzle to keep with the deserty/smores theme
completely off topic but I love Chloe's accent❤😊
I soooooo want this kit! Be interested to see the other kit. I love what you made ❤
Looks like a great kit. 😊👍🏻 Love your tic tac toe project. 😃👍🏻
interesting to see different perspectives
Yay!!!
Just in time!
Especially as a bginner, I would like my materials to be a better quallity

ooooh there's subscriptions for everything nowadays 😮
I have used the Sculpd kit before, it is virtually identical to this one.

Great video. Left handed artists unite!
We have a very similar one is
