Chroma Clay - Terracotta

The Modern Standard for Earthy Character Design

Chroma Clay Terracotta is a studio-grade plasticine made to meet the practical demands of professional puppet fabrication and set design. Developed as a high-performance, modern replacement for Newplast, this Terracotta Clay delivers a rich, even colour tone and the technical benefits of a wax-based medium. It is an essential shade for historical characters, natural environments, and warm, organic puppet designs.

Professional Handling and On-Set Stability

Handmade in the UK using animator-approved materials, our formula is designed to withstand the rigours of the animation stage:

• Superior Form Retention: Formulated to hold intricate surface details, such as fabric textures or muscle definition, without sagging or drooping.

• Responsive Pliability: The clay maintains a refined balance of firmness and flexibility. It remains stable between frames but softens quickly with the warmth of your hands for fluid, expressive character movement.

• Efficient Workflow: Supplied in 130g bars, it is easy to segment and portion, making it ideal for busy production environments and fast-paced filming schedules.

Advanced Casting and Custom Earthy Tones

The fully meltable formulation of Chroma Clay Terracotta is a significant advantage for sophisticated production pipelines. Animators can pour the melted clay into silicone moulds to create consistent replacement animation elements or repeatable character components. Furthermore, it serves as an excellent base for colour mixing; blend it with Chroma Clay Stone for rugged neutrals or Chroma Clay Peach for warm, sun-kissed flesh tones.
