In this article I will show you how you can make cold porcelain yourself with just 3 ingredients.
What is cold porcelain?
Cold porcelain, also known as air-drying modeling clay, fake porcelain or kneaded porcelain, hardens without a complex starch-based firing process. In contrast to traditional porcelain, which requires high temperatures in the oven, cold porcelain can simply air dry and develop a firm, yet light consistency. It’s really easy to knead and work with, which is why it’s also a great activity to do with children.
It’s so easy to make cold porcelain yourself:
Ingredients
- 180g water
- 300 g Baking soda
- 100 g cornstarch
- Cookie cutter
- cooking pot
- Ribbon
- Colored markers
- Scissors
- pike
- rolling pin

Cold porcelain or salt dough?
Cold porcelain and salt dough are both materials for craft projects with children, but they differ in composition, hardening and appearance. Cold porcelain consists of starch, baking soda and water, dries out in the air and looks very white and smooth on the outside when it is dry. Salt dough, made from flour, salt and water, must be baked and left for several days beforehand. The result is also slightly yellower and grittier.
