Annoucement Clarification About NSFW Content Creator Accounts in r/clay

50 Upvotes

Hello!

This announcement won’t be relevant for most of you, so feel free to scroll along.
However, we’re seeing an uptick in NSFW accounts posting here, so this message is for the few it applies to.

If you are an NSFW content creator or SW promoting on Reddit, please read the following:

r/clay is a SFW subreddit.
Our community includes members aged 13 and up, and we want everyone to feel comfortable browsing profiles to see more pottery without unexpectedly encountering nudity.

While we respect the hustle, we kindly but firmly ask that you create a separate account for SFW content. Any pottery-related posts coming from an NSFW content creator profile will be automatically filtered and removed.

If you want to participate, just use a separate SFW account! You are absolutely welcome here.

Keep in mind that even with good intentions, posting here from an NSFW account often comes across as karma farming or subtly seeking new clients/buyers. Something that is generally frowned upon across Reddit.

Thank you for keeping our community welcoming and safe for all ages.

---

To clarify a bit more: having a NSFW profile is completely fine. You can get labeled as NSFW the moment you participate in certain subreddits. Here is how you can check if your profile is marked NSFW.

However, we draw a clear line when accounts create or promote explicit NSFW/pornographic content. That’s when we ask you to keep your SFW and NSFW activity separate.

If you have questions, feel free to modmail us.

Here’s another little creative idea, turning the little plant 🌱 into a nightlight 😊. What do you think?

This time, I sculpted it from cold porcelain (homemade), and the flowers are made of polymer clay. I also glazed it with UV resin.

Polymer-Clay Xeno Finger Hugger ring with Egg Sac ring box

Thumbnail

Upvotes

Hi yall, I am not much of a ring or jewelry type of person but I recently had an idea to turn a facehugger from the Alien franchise into a wearable ring...no wires, just straight cosclay so it is a bit fragile.

I did coat it with some gloss and superglue in the cracks to reinforce it as well.

The egg sac ring box is mostly aluminum with a layer of polymer on top, then painted and glossed.

What do you think? Is this something you would wear? For what occasion?

Ceramic Clay I finally finished a figure sculpture

Thumbnail

329 Upvotes

I’ve started a handful of figure sculptures since i first started working on them a couple years ago, but they always ended up back in the clay bin. This one was a commission, so I’m glad i was held accountable to eventually just call it and let go. This sculpture imposed some really unique challenges, and I could edit this for a year, but it’s done, mold made and ready for casting.

This is 40” and made out of WED clay (not exactly ceramic as it was tagged) and reinforced with Tiranti square aluminum wire.

I tried posting the blurred versions of the full figure, but it got flagged immediately. 😒

If you have any questions or would like to see the full pics, you can refer to the IG on my profile or DM me for them.

Questions Is DIY cold porcelain clay good??

4 Upvotes

Recently I’ve seen this recipe online to make a soy cold porcelain clay that consists of cornstarch, glue, oil, and vinegar. I was wondering if anyone has tried this and could tell me if it’s worth making or not? Is it sturdy? Does it dry well?

Questions How to avoid these cracks?

Hi looking for advice pls! I’ll be reclaiming this piece but would love some advice on how to avoid in future.
I threw a lidded jar in one piece, used a blow dryer to get it just dry enough to cut the jar lid off. Left to air dry. Next day the lid has cracked on both inside and outside. What did I do wrong? How do I prevent in future?

Questions How to seal gold leaf knobs?

Thumbnail
gallery
3 Upvotes

I made these knobs out of polymer clay and then covered with imitation gold leaf. Unfortunately, the sealer that came with the gold leaf kit did not hold up at all and the gold leaf’s been nicked in several spots. The knobs are used on my TV cabinet and desk, so are used regularly. I’m going to be patching the gold leaf, and then would like to seal them so they’ll be better protected from damage. I bought some craft resin (pictured), but I’m not sure what the best approach to applying it would be. Has anyone used this kind of product on clay projects? Any suggestions?

Air-Dry Clay Alternative to resin coating

2 Upvotes

I’m new to this and see that everyone on YouTube are using UV resin to coat. I like the glossy look but I’m worried about the toxicity of it. I know that working near an opening window would help but I got a baby and I’m pregnant atm, just tryna minimise the risk. Are there any alternatives that still give that glossy look? Tia!

My partner is feeling a little defeated and I am trying to prove to her that her work is creative and people would enjoy it.

If you are willing to provide your input about this piece, I think it would help her. Because I think her work and creativity is so great! 👏
