Its a small terra cotta brown sugar disc. IT WORKS~!
Soak the disc in water for 15 minutes,take it out of the water and place it in a ziplock bag with your clay (I usually leave the orginial package on the clay) and seal it up.
The disc keeps a small amount of moisture in the bag and prevents the clay from drying out!
Everytime i take my clay out to work with it, i rehydrate my disc by soaking it in water for 10 minutes.
Awesome eh?
Art on everyone!

Such a simple solution. Thanks ANg!
I'll look for that. I like air-dry clay but haven't had time to use mine much, so I brought it back from near death by misting into zip-lock bag with the lump in it.
