Clay – the perfect material for modeling – different types

Clay - the perfect material to make your ideas real

No other material you can turn your ideas as fast, simple, flexible and in the end as creative into reality as with clay. A 3D computer model may be fast, but at the end of the day nothing is as significant and confirms your ideas as concrete as a clay model. Kolb offers the most popular clay types, which are used in design studios all over the world. We have the right clay for your task!

for scale and full-scale models
manually workable

soft as butter when warmed up and hard and edge-stable at room-temperature
