We’ll make it right

30-day returns. Not happy with your kit? Email hello@lumiclay.com.au and our team will sort it out.

What if I’m not creative?
You don’t need to be. Every character comes with a step-by-step card that shows each piece, one at a time. If you can roll a ball of clay, you can make one. And if yours comes out a little different from the photo, that’s half the charm.
Is it going to be messy or annoying to clean up?
Not at all. It’s soft air-dry clay with no paint, no water and no glue, so it doesn’t stick to hands or stain the table. A quick wipe-down and you’re done.
How long does it take to dry?
Air-dry clay firms up in a couple of hours and fully hardens in 24–48 hours at room temperature. Thicker pieces can take a little longer. No oven or kiln, just leave it somewhere safe to set.
How long does shipping take?
We ship to the US from our fulfilment partner's warehouse, and most orders arrive in 6–12 business days. Shipping is about $14, or free on orders over $60, and import duties and taxes are already paid, so there's nothing extra to pay on delivery. You’ll get a tracking link by email once it’s on its way, or check any time on Track your order.
What ages is it suitable for?
Our air-dry clay kits are suitable for ages 3+. Younger makers may need a hand with the smaller pieces. But really, anyone can get started with Lumi: kids, couples, or just you and a quiet evening.
LESS SCROLLING. MORE SQUISHING.

How a lump of clay becomes a little character

No perfect shapes required. Just your hands, a little imagination, and something fun to make.

InsideThe clay

  • Soft and squishy air-dry clay in bright colours, ready to shape straight from the tub.
  • Non-toxic, with no sticky residue on hands or tables.
  • A step-by-step character card that shows every piece.

WhyIt works

Air-dry clay sets on its own as it dries at room temperature, so there’s no oven, kiln or heat gun. That makes it something you can start on the couch tonight, and the card breaks the character into small, simple pieces so no one needs to be “the artsy one”.

Questions, answered

Still wondering? Email hello@lumiclay.com.au and a real person will get back to you.

What if I’m not creative?

You don’t need to be. Every character comes with a step-by-step card that shows each piece, one at a time. If you can roll a ball of clay, you can make one. And if yours comes out a little different from the photo, that’s half the charm.

What’s in each kit?

Everything for one character: 30g of soft air-dry clay in four colours, in a resealable tub, plus a step-by-step card that shows every piece in order. Sculpting tools come free once your box reaches 6 kits, and the pressing board and gift box at 12.

Do I need anything else?

Just your hands and a clear table. There’s no oven, kiln, water or paint involved. The tools make the fine details (eyes, stripes, little paws) easier, which is why we add them free to bigger boxes.

Is it going to be messy or annoying to clean up?

Not at all. It’s soft air-dry clay with no paint, no water and no glue, so it doesn’t stick to hands or stain the table. A quick wipe-down and you’re done.

How long does it take to dry?

Air-dry clay firms up in a couple of hours and fully hardens in 24–48 hours at room temperature. Thicker pieces can take a little longer. No oven or kiln, just leave it somewhere safe to set.

Will the clay dry out or crack?

Not in the tub. Keep the lid on and it stays soft until you’re ready. Once it’s out it starts to set, so pop the lid back on any colour you aren’t using. Leave your finished character somewhere at room temperature for 24–48 hours, away from heaters and direct sun, which dry it too fast and can cause cracks.

How long does shipping take?

We pack and send every order within 24 hours. Standard is $11, or free on orders over $80, and most orders arrive in 2–5 business days anywhere in Australia. In a hurry? Pick Express ($15) at checkout. We ship overseas too, for a flat $20. You’ll get a tracking link by email once it’s on its way, or check any time on Track your order.

What ages is it suitable for?

Our air-dry clay kits are suitable for ages 3+. Younger makers may need a hand with the smaller pieces. But really, anyone can get started with Lumi: kids, couples, or just you and a quiet evening.

Can I send it as a gift?

Yes. Build their box here, then enter their address at checkout. Boxes of 12 ship in our free gift box, so it arrives ready to hand over.

What if it arrives damaged, or I’m not happy?

Email hello@lumiclay.com.au with your order number (and a photo if something’s damaged). We replace damaged items free, and you have 30 days to let us know if your kit isn’t right for you.

We've had more dates long distance than we ever did in person lol

We set the laptop up, made ours at the same time and decided whose came out funnier. Such a small thing but it honestly helps us feel closer.

Turns out he has no patience lol

Turns out my boyfriend has no patience and is pretty awful at clay ha ha. His walrus still came out cute. We spent the whole call chatting instead of half watching something.

A wholesome, phones-off kind of night

We put some music on, ordered takeout and made Pip while watching East of Eden. Had so much fun, made us laugh a lot. The funnier the outcome, the better the memory.
