Similarly one may ask, does clay dissolve in water?
Clay will not dissolve in water - itisinsoluble.
Subsequently, question is, can you fire modeling clay? The short answer is that true modeling clayisnever baked--it will only melt if heated.Earthenclays (pottery clay, ceramic clay, etc)areall water-based. They will dry in the air, but to beverystrong they must then be heated in a high-temperaturekiln("fired").
Subsequently, question is, will air dry clay dissolve in water?
Air-dry clays all“dry”to harden because they'rewater-based, where most all other“clays”are oil-based and can'ttechnically “dry”because there's nowater in them to evaporate out andcausehardening.
Is air dry clay biodegradable?
Since air dry clay isn't fired, you won't beusingany glaze. Avoiding glaze saves you a lot of money, butremoves themagic of things like colorburst glazes. Just as withregularclay, encourage your students to experiment withdifferentways to add color.
