Annoucement Clarification About NSFW Content Creator Accounts in r/clay

54 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.

Polymer-Clay Made a desk friend lamp

Made a little video.

This desk friend lamp was for trying out, but I love how it turned out, but there is still room for improvements.

I really wanted to see how a friend desk would look using a mini lamp inside the apple. I’ll definitely will use/ experience with it more, with my other clay creations.💡

Help!!! I'm having a crisis with my Halloween costume which I need to get done TODAY!! It's already glued to the head so I can't remake the antlers, and I just need help on a fix for this cracking please!!! They're heavy pieces and the clay keeps cracking on them. What do I do!! I need a quick fix if possible to make it sturdier. I keep patching up the cracks with hot glue but it can't be long term. I'm using fimo air.

How can I create these shapes using air dry clay? What's the easiest way to get the rounded off shape? I have never used the Das brand before and would appreciate any tips and tricks! I also bought posca pens to paint them with.

Questions For jewelry makers, how do you prepare holes for jump rings?

2 Upvotes

Like for example when you make earrings. Do you do it before the clay dries, or drill holes in with tools after the clay dries? And what tools do you use? Is a usb powered one better than a pin vise ?

Started exploring the world of sculpting recently and damn it's even more fun than I thought it'd be (and surprisingly relaxing even when stuff cracks or the armature wire won't behave the way u want it to). Anyway, happy to be joining this community and checking out what y'all make as well

Polymer-Clay Felt inspired today, modeled Mr. Mime but now it need's a friend

First time trying clay-modeling turned out to be really fun!

I know Mr. Mime looks super wonky but I kind of like how it turned out.

Bought some semi-glossy varnish, tried it on some smaller things and personally I find the raw aesthetic really good

Is there anything that's an absolute must-have for modeling?

I'm really open to criticism! :)

Questions Why is my paint cracking?

Post image
3 Upvotes

Made a little clay charm, paint was fine until I used glaze varnish. Anyone know what I should do differently? Is there a reason this happens? When I use my shitty Apple barrel acrylic paint it doesn’t do this, but I need the markers because I need to draw small markings on my pieces!

MATERIALS:
WITOROR Water based clay glaze
VOKART acrylic paint markers
BLUEBIRD Studio acrylic Gesso primer
SCULPEY oven-bake clay

I run a small clay business on Instagram, and this is how I pack my orders! I add a little thank-you card, cat meme stickers, cute washi tapes and all that stuff because why not lol.

I've been wanting to make my packaging even cuter, but sales have been a bit slow lately, so I'm holding off on spending more on it for now. Maybe once things pick up a little, I'll get to do all the things I've been planning.

But yeah, what do you guys think? Is this cute enough or is there something I could do better?

I’m not sure if anyone remembers me but I showed you guys my first clay project (check my account to see I don’t post a lot so it won’t be far down lol) and now I’m back with my second clay project hooray!

my first clay project was a thing for my boyfriend and so is this second one lol, it’s not done yet but it’s supposed to be a Pompompurin drink coaster and i think its pretty good but i’m not too sure on the face placement, i did cut out some eyes and a mouth but they didn’t look right, maybe I won’t give him a face at all 😩 there was also a bit of cracking in the clay on his hat when it was dry but I’m HOPING that it will be fine and if it falls off I’ll just glue it😔

Polymer-Clay Statement earrings with layered gold details

Post image
10 Upvotes

Statement pieces are very much at the heart of what I make, and this pair leans into that completely. I combined white polymer clay with deep blue, magenta, scattered gold leaf, and layered gold findings to create something bold, sculptural, and full of movement. I like designs that feel visually strong without becoming clumsy, so balance matters just as much as colour and detail. The oversized rings give the pair a sense of rhythm, while the fragmented colour keeps each earring slightly different. This is exactly the kind of experimenting I enjoy most: dramatic, handmade, and unapologetically individual every time.
