Air dry clay can last indefinitely if stored properly in an airtight container to prevent it from drying out. However, once it dries out completely, it becomes unusable and cannot be rehydrated.

Can clay melt by heat I am asking this because I am wondering, if I get a red hot wire and push it on clay, can I put designs on the clay pot without wetting it again?

Clay can be melted by heat, but the process of doing so typically requires temperatures that are much higher than what can be achieved with a red hot wire. Additionally, the process of melting clay can cause it to lose structural integrity and become unusable for pottery. Therefore, it is unlikely that you will be able to put designs on a clay pot using a red hot wire without wetting it again.


Can you sculpt lasting statues in waterbased clay?

Yes, if you fire it (cook it in a kiln) to the point where it is "vitrified," at which point it essentially becomes another substance. In the process, the water is driven out, the clay particles become dense, and the piece becomes waterproof. Fired clay pots and sculptures (or, at least, fragments of them) have lasted for thousands of years.
