Say Goodbye to Clay Frustrations—meet your new Sculpting Superpower: Pal Tiya Premium

​Clay is an incredibly versatile and time-honored material that has been used by artists and sculptors for thousands of years. While it has some limitations, especially when it comes to creating large, weatherproof sculptures, clay excels in a number of key areas that make it a favorite for many creative projects.

• Highly Malleable and Easy to Work With
• Perfect for Creating Fine Details
• Accessible
• Versatile
• Great for Learning and Practice
• Great for Mold-Making

There are several types of clay available, each with unique properties that make them suited for different types of art, sculpture, and pottery. The main types of clay are Earthenware, Stoneware, Porcelain, and Ball Clay, each varying in texture, plasticity, and final appearance.
Each clay requires firing in a kiln, this can limit the size you can go with your sculpture work, unless you make it is sections and attach them afterwards.

FRUSTRATIONS
When working with ceramic sculptures, many artists encounter a number of frustrations and limitations, especially when trying to create larger pieces. Here’s a breakdown of some common pain points for ceramic artists:

• Kiln costs
• Size limitations
• Cracking when firing
• Fragile
• Limited weather resistance

When an artist is ready or wishes to make larger sculptures in ceramic, they often need to create molds. This complex process can be technically challenging, expensive, and time-consuming. For large, durable sculptures, some artists turn to bronze casting. However, this multi-step process is incredibly expensive and time consuming, both in terms of materials and the use of a foundry.
Even once a sculpture is cast in bronze, its weight can make it difficult to transport, install, or modify.
