This clay is different. Here’s why.
More than 98% of the wet Artisan Clay is bio and mineral based.
Eco Forma is not fired ceramic, polymer clay, or conventional air-dry clay. It begins soft and responsive, then finishes strong through Dip, image and color, Ceramic Coat, and finish.

The Clay We Wanted Didn’t Exist
Eco Forma began in a small Colorado studio with a material problem. We wanted a heat free ceramic clay system for shaping and refinement into color, image, texture, mixed media, and finish—with greater expressive freedom.
Eco Forma Guides
Explore how form, color, image, surface, and finish work together across the Eco Forma system.
Ways to Color Eco Forma
Explore color in the clay, dense surface color with Opaque Ceramic Glaze, painting and transfer, effect pigments, and transparent coating color.
What makes Eco Forma different
See how form, Dip, image and color, Ceramic Coat, and finish work as one connected process.
Waterborne as a Material and Workflow
Understand how each waterborne stage prepares the piece for the next.
Build and finish with the Full System
See why readiness, thin layers, and full drying matter to the final surface.
Ways to Color Eco Forma
Color can begin in the clay, move across an opaque ceramic surface, build through paint and image, or shift within transparent layers and finish.
Color in the form
Choose ready-mixed Artisan Clay when you want color to continue through cut edges, carving, texture, and the full body of the piece.
Opaque color across the surface
Use Opaque Ceramic Glaze when you want dense, even surface color that prepares the form for painting, transfer, and layered decoration.
Paint, image + transparent layers
Build color through painted marks, transferred image, washes, effect pigments, and transparent or translucent coating layers.
Shape It. Refine It. Decorate It. Finish It.
Eco Forma is built in stages.

This is Not Like the Other Clays
Across polymer and air dry clay makers repeatedly describe the same friction: cracking, crumbling, limited working time, heavy sanding, and finishes that do not feel resolved.
With other air dry and polymer clays, makers often describe heavy sanding, visible patching, and finishes that remain uneven or feel plasticky.
”
With conventional air dry and polymer workflows, makers often work around early drying, conditioning, bake cycles, and repeated correction.
”
With conventional air dry clay, makers often report cracking, crumbling, fragile edges, and long repair cycles.
