I think it’s because it’s a good beginners craft and people start small and small is easier and more affordable I guess, big is good too 😊❤️

      Thank you. Always if you have concerns do your research, or don’t proceed, and if me and I was worried about the dust, even when using ppe, I’d avoid sanding the clay completely and smooth the clay fully while wet, this is not advice just a thought. Happy crafting, there is something for everyone even if not air dry clay 😊
