air-dry clay
No kiln needed
Air-dry clay is a modeling material that hardens when exposed to air rather than requiring kiln firing.
It's softer and more porous than kiln-fired clay, making it popular for children's crafts, simple sculptures, and hobby projects: The kids made ornaments from air-dry clay.
Most varieties can be painted or sealed after drying.
