Ground your designs in earthy richness with Sculpey Premo Burnt Umber — a deep, chocolatey brown that reflects the natural tones of Aotearoa’s rugged landscapes, forest floors, and rich volcanic soils. It’s the perfect base or accent for creating warm, organic pieces that feel connected to the land.
 
Premo is a favourite among Kiwi makers for its balance of strength and flexibility after baking. It’s easy to condition, holds detail beautifully, and cures to a smooth, professional finish. Use Burnt Umber on its own for rustic, natural vibes, or blend it with other colours to create warm neutrals, wood effects, or clay mixes with a natural edge.
 
Bake at 130°C for 30 minutes for a durable result that stands the test of time.
