Home » Cai Modeling Materials » Cai Clay
A biodegradable air drying clay made from recycled materials.
Use it to make rough hand sculpted models or detailed molded pieces.
Paper should be free of any coatings, tape, and staples
Use a binder that creates a gel-like consistency
Tap water is fine
Don't use it for food.
Use paper towels to wipe off wet plaster (rinsing plaster into a sink can cause clogs) and recycle the used paper towels into new clay
The more surface area the better
Optional but helpful when mixing your clay
Back the Designing With Waste project on Kickstarter to receive a digital book or printed workbook. The books will contain full sets of instructions for making the Cai Modeling Materials, with tips, tricks, and advice for experimentation. After the Kickstarter, the basic instructions for the materials will be released on DesigningWithWaste.com and the Designing With Waste GitHub repository. These Kickstarter rewards will contain more detailed information than what will be released for free after the campaign ends.
