I'm not a clay person (though I wish I was!!) but I am an orchid person. I'm interested in making clay containers for orchids, but the container has to hold water without dripping. If there are any orchid people out there, you're probably wondering if I'm nuts right now, but there is a method to my madness. So far my online searches (and searches of past topics on this forum) indicate that an air dry won't hold water.

So in summary, I want to make a reservoir of clay that does not drip water, but DOES become saturated with moisture. And it needs to be as durable and inexpensive as possible, because I want to make quite a few. Does anyone have an idea for me??

Thank you very much in advance!

However, you could sculpt around a glass vessel of some sort. For that matter, you could use plastic.

This website has good info.

Good luck with your project.
