Air dry clay is a soft, lightweight, non-toxic modelling material designed for ages 3 and up. It is easy to squeeze, shape, stretch, and mould, making it perfect for both fun play and creative projects. Available in a wide range of colours, most air-dry clays can be mixed together to create any shade or tone you need. Unlike traditional clays, air dry clay requires no baking or kilns. It naturally hardens when exposed to air, usually within 24 hours, leaving you with a long-lasting keepsake. When stored in airtight tubs, it remains reusable and ready for your next creation. Because it does not stick to hair, upholstery or carpets, air dry clay is a favourite among parents and educators. Air dry clay can be used to make models, characters, magnets, decorations, keyrings, name plaques, greeting cards, framed art, and even baby handprints or footprints.

Jenefer Ham is a dedicated lampwork glass artist whose work centres on the transformation of molten glass into finely crafted jewellery and sculptural art. Using traditional flameworking techniques, she melts rods of coloured glass in a high-temperature torch flame, shaping and layering the material by hand to create intricate beads, pendants, and miniature sculptures. Lampworking is both a technical and expressive discipline. It demands precise temperature control, steady handwork, and an understanding of glass chemistry to achieve clarity, depth, and structural integrity.
