Can you fie air dry clay sculpture?
Some types of air drying clay can be fired. A few air drying clays are normal water based clay bodies to which nylon fibres have been added (eg. Neclay and Potclays Creative Clay). These can be fired burning out the fibre in the process but bear in mind air pockets in the clay may cause the piece to explode in the kiln. Another alternative would be to make a mould from the air dried model and cast one or more permanent pieces from this mould either in resin or plaster of Paris. If you have a kiln it would be far safer to make a plaster of Paris mould from the air drying master and then slip cast hollow clay copies in a clay slip that you have the firing data for.
