Let customers speak for us
We took this kit away for the weekend - it was such a fun afternoon creating!
Beautiful product. Website was easy to use and communicating with the owner was a breeze when I had questions.
I’m based in Hawke’s Bay so when I found somewhere to fire it, it was great to know they had a relationship with Modeletto so they knew how to work with the clay and glazes I had used
Such amazing clay to work with 😍
Loved making this tray to go along with my Modeletto purchase. They look so cute together - thanks for the inspiration
Learning a new skill as an adult has been both deeply humbling and wildly inspiring … ✨
Thank you for the pottery kit that got this vase started and the inspiration to keep creating 🌹
This was honestly such a fun experience! So easy to follow and the French pear scent is gorgeous. I will be doing more of these kits with some girlfriends and a glass of wine! Loved it. Perfect gift too <3
Customer Reviews
Loved creating this plate to go along with the dish I purchased from you. The colours were perfect to make my own shades.
I thought I’d do a new review of my experience using the modeletto air dry clay kit. My previous review was a reflection of my first experience with using their products and unfortunately it wasn’t the best experience. Graciously the co-owner Krissy offered to send out a new kit, so that I could hopefully have a more enjoyable experience with the kit. As expected from my initial impressions (prior to the first experience) were met completely. I had a much better experience using the clay, no issues with the paint nor cracking. I finally made what I had tried to the first go around. I’m so happy with how it turned out. I made this cute yarn ball bowl and fried egg incense holder.
We had so much fun! Such a great different activity to do with your family.
It us wonderful my grand daughter and i have had a lot of fun creating objects
Modeletto kits are so fun and easy to use- it’s my all time favourite past time now! Amanda and Krissy are a delight to work with. I cannot recommend their product more!

This kit is the perfect activity! My boyfriend and I took the Modeletto clay with us on a weekend away, and it was such a fun way to unwind. We each made our own little trinket holders, and it was honestly such a good laugh. It doesn’t have to be perfect it’s all about the fun and the memories. Highly recommend for a chill afternoon!
So easy to work with and very therapeutic.
I have gifted these kits time and time again. Everyone loves them! Kids, teenagers adults - they have all made something they can keep forever. We recently purchased a bunch of the clay kits for a hens party which was the favourite activity from the whole weekend. Love love love Modeletto! Xx
My wee signature plant bowl.
Decorative only.
Fun to make using Modeletto clay kit.
At Amanda's (my mum) place! Yep she spends hours making up your kits with so much love including cutting the clay, pouring paints into pottles and more!
Our pottery kits are completely beginner friendly and have easy to follow instructions and video tutorials.
Absolutely! We love solo potting and you will too.
Being an eco-friendly and sustainable brand was non-negotiable for us.

- Clay is wrapped in a compostable cling-wrap + compostable kraft pouch

- Each box is packed with reused wool insulation
- Compostable mailer bags
For best results leave for 1/2 weeks. Leave it to dry in a cool place.
It looks great in its natural state with 2 coats of sealer, or paint with white acrylic paint (and colours if you wish), let the paint dry and apply 2 coats of sealer.
Don't put your piece in your oven, or apply heat to try to speed this process up, because it will likely cause your shape to crack. If you'd like to work on your piece then take a break, no worries! Just wrap it in an eco-friendly bag i.e bin liner and come back to it when you feel like it. We don't recommend leaving it for too long though.
NB: Our air-dry clay is not food or water safe, so if you want to make a bowl to eat out of, or a mug to drink out of, you must get your creations fired in a kiln after its dried for at least 2 weeks. It must not have our paint or sealer on it.
1kg - enough to make a 6 letters. You can buy more here if you need more.
