First though…Who are we?
We're the crew from Pal Tiya International, and sculpting is what we care about. Between us, we've sculpted for decades and used every sculpting material on the planet (no joke). We created Pal Tiya Premium, a versatile weatherproof medium for outdoor sculpture that is non-firing, and gorgeous to use.
Thousands of creative people across the globe have fallen in love with the possibilities of our medium.

Similarities between Pal Tiya Premium & Air Dry Clays
There are many many similarities between the two so let's dive in and take a look at those now:
- When going larger with air dry clay you can use internal armatures such as wire and tinfoil. Pal Tiya Premium (PTP) is just the same.
- Air dry clay and PTP can both use similar methods to sculpt and construct pieces. (Score and Slip for Air dry clay/ Scratch Coat for PTP)
- Like air dry clay, you can achieve a very smooth finish with PTP.
- Neither of them need a kiln to cure and harden them. (Though PTP is rock solid after curing!)
- You can seal or paint them both (although with Pal Tiya Premium, you don't have to to make your sculptures weatherproof.
- Once mixed, you can roll PTP out if you like just as you do with air dry clay. This is how we make little jackets and hats for some of our sculpures.
- Air dry clay takes 2-4 days to dry, PTP takes roughly the same amount if time (5-6 days with day 1 under plastic and day 2-6 wrapped in wet cloths and plastic).
- You can mist Pal Tiya Premium with water to extend the sculpt time (just not too much as like air dry clay this will weaken the final result).
