Different Brands of Air Dry Clay:

DAS AIR DRY CLAY - https://amzn.to/3rgW1TB
One of the best brands of Air Dry Clay, whilst also being very affordable. DAS clay has tiny paper fibres in it, creating an internal bond which makes for a strong sculpture.

LA DOLL- https://amzn.to/3uj14F0
Probably the air dry clay on the market, used by many doll makers as it's especially good for fine details. The only downside I’ve found is that it is difficult to find in some parts of the world, including Europe.

JOVI - https://amzn.to/3APoVNQ
Soft and smooth. Generally easy to work with, though harder to achieve a high level of details. Very Cheap.

FIMO AIR LIGHT - https://amzn.to/34sWoRV
Extremely lightweight and soft. This particular type of Air Dry Clay can be dried in the MICROWAVE.
